SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Six Islington Squares Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:Rob Smith will take us on a virtual stroll as we admire the domestic architecture of 19th century Islington. During the 19th Century the farmland of Barnsbury gave way to a succession of building schemes that created some of the worlds first suburbs. Each square was developed by a different landowner with a different architect\, so they each have their own look. Rob will look at the people who lived in the squares – theatre critics\, journalists\, singers and experts in guerilla warfare! \nThis is a live virtual tour hosted via Zoom meeting where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the tour route with an accompanying talk. There will be opportunities for questions and interaction after the virtual tour. \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Bath Assembly Rooms
DESCRIPTION:Join Bath Assembly Room curators\, Tatjana LeBoff and Emily Roy\, online for a talk which will reveal the fascinating story of Bath Assembly Rooms\, from their glittering eighteenth-century heyday as a venue which hosted Jane Austen\, through the many challenges they have faced across the centuries. In preparation our curators have conducted extensive research into the lives of Georgians in Bath from all walks of life\, uncovering stories to be shared. Join them as they unveil the changing fortunes of the building\, shedding light on the fascinating group of people who first funded its construction\, and go on to explore how the Rooms have survived fire and war\, as well as shifting fashions to remain one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks. And then what about its twenty-first century future? This talk will provide the ‘inside track’ on the current project to restore the building. \nTatjana LeBoff is a Project Curator for the Bath Assembly Rooms (National Trust)\, having previously worked for the National Trust at Petworth House\, as well as holding contemporary curatorial positions at the Barbican\, London\, and Pembroke College\, Oxford. Having received a BA in History of Art and an MA in Architectural History from UCL she has developed her curatorial skills through research and hands-on experiences. Her interests lie in the interplay between art\, design\, fashion\, architecture\, society\, food\, and the lived environment\, exploring how social and individual identities are constructed\, conveyed\, and reformed. With a focus on how complex concepts can be communicated to a wide audience through curation\, dynamic displays\, diverse narratives\, participatory activity and multidisciplinary collaboration\, the experiential and emotive value of art and heritage is paramount to her curatorial practice. She holds expertise in the social history of the long eighteenth-century\, alongside that of curating contemporary and site-specific art. She seeks to combine these two areas of experience to create new ways of sharing history with a wider public. Additionally\, she is a co-editor on the publication Bath and Beyond: The Social and Cultural World of the Georgian Assembly Room\, published by Routledge as part of their Studies in Eighteenth-Century Cultures and Societies series in 2025. \nEmily Roy is Project Curator for the National Trust at Bath Assembly Rooms\, working on the restoration and presentation of the Rooms and the creation of a new visitor experience\, to open in 2027. Her research includes how health\, wellness and disability in Georgian Bath intersected with leisure and entertainment. Emily is leading on the historical basis of the narrative content within the experience and the creation of new displays of historic objects\, including loans from other National Trust properties\, local Bath collections and UK museums. Before this role\, Emily was Project Curator for Applied Arts at Bristol Museums\, working with collections including textiles\, metalwork\, ceramics and glass. She completed her PhD in 2022\, which was a Collaborative Doctoral Award between the University of Cambridge and the Ashmolean Museum\, University of Oxford. Her thesis titled ‘City of Stone: The Materiality of St Petersburg in Print\, c.1703-1830’ explored print culture and urban development in long-18th-century Russia. Before beginning her PhD\, Emily was Curator at Waddesdon Manor (National Trust\, Rothschild Collections)\, with a special focus on furniture and decorative arts. She has also completed research and cataloguing projects at the Ashmolean Museum and British Library. \nTickets: Free for members and non-members\, registration is required

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Alice: An Extraordinary Princess
DESCRIPTION:Despite being Prince Philip’s mother\, Princess Alice of Battenberg\, was a little-known member of the British royal family who is often falsely portrayed in film and television. She lived a tumultuous life filled with tragedy but also hallmarked by charity work and incredible acts of bravery. Born congenitally deaf at Windsor Castle in 1885\, a birth witnessed by her great-grandmother Queen Victoria\, she married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903. From then on\, her life was overshadowed by wars\, revolutions\, and periods of exile. She suffered a nervous breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia and transferred in 1930—against her will—to a sanatorium in Switzerland. Noted biographer Hugo Vickers will explore the Princess’s remarkable life and describe how she overcame seemingly unsurmountable difficulties devoting herself to charity work and helping the poor. Mr. Vickers will talk about her royal beginnings and her married and family life; explain about her hospitalization and escape; and detail her move to Athens in 1938. He will describe her charity work before and during World War II—including hiding a Jewish family at her home at great personal risk—and her foundation of the “Christian Brotherhood of Martha and Mary.” Finally\, he will illustrate her 1967 move to live with her son and his family at Buckingham Palace and discuss how her incredible philanthropic work led posthumous honors in Britain and Israel—where she is buried at the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem. Join Royal Oak as we learn about a remarkable member of the Royal family whose life was as tumultuous and extraordinary as the times in which she lived. \nHugo Vickers is well known as a biographer\, lecturer and broadcaster\, and is an acknowledged expert on the Royal Family. He has covered events from the first wedding of the Prince of Wales and other royal weddings; the funerals of the Queen Mother\, Prince Philip\, the State Funeral and Committal of The Queen; and the Coronation of Charles III. The Financial Times recently described him as ‘the most knowledgeable royal biographer on the planet.’ He has written many biographies of 20th-century figures\, including Cecil Beaton\, Vivien Leigh\, the Duchess of Windsor\, Princess Andrew of Greece\, and the Queen Mother. In 2022\, he published a book with HRH The Duke of Kent\, entitled A Royal Life. In 2024\, Mr. Vickers published a novel – Pining in Paradise – and his biography of Clarissa\, Countess of Avon (widow of PM Anthony Eden). When not writing\, he travels through the Commonwealth and Overseas Territories\, establishing Commonwealth Walkways. Mr. Vickers is a Deputy Lieutenant for the Royal County of Berkshire and Captain of the Lay Stewards of St George’s Chapel\, Windsor Castle. He has given too many lectures in too many places to keep track. \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Beautifully British Interiors
DESCRIPTION:When people picture English country house interiors\, they often imagine warm\, inviting rooms where no detail is too small: spaces that layer antiques and heirlooms with functional family pieces; soft furnishings in colorful florals and damasks textiles; restored mouldings and traditional materials; all complemented by a thoughtful touch of contemporary art. Sims Hilditch creates interiors that epitomize the English country house look for today\, while placing equal emphasis on the functional purpose of every space. \nFounder and designer Emma Sims-Hilditch will present a selection of her firm’s recent projects\, which breathe new life into the classic English style. From a Victorian townhouse in London to an eighteenth-century country house\, a Jacobean manor\, and an apartment in London’s Old War Office\, her work demonstrates how new materials and technologies can be seamlessly combined with traditional decorative elements. The result is an accessible\, comfortable style for modern living that remains quintessentially British.\nHer latest book\, Sims Hilditch: Beautifully British Interiors (Rizzoli\, 2025)\, on which this lecture is based\, was named House Beautiful’s Best New Design Book of 2025. \nTo Purchase the Book Visit the Rizzoli Website. \n\n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | The Country House Dining Room: A History of Georgian Feasting
DESCRIPTION:The Dining Room at Saltram\, Devon. The room was designed by Robert Adam in 1768-70 \nExplore the extravagant world of Georgian dining\, where feasting was a display of wealth\, status\, and indulgence. Dining rooms in grand estates like Holkham Hall\, Hardwick Hall\, and Blenheim Palace became social stages\, where guests were expected to eat and drink to the point of excess. Dr. Amy Boyington will take us through the wild and sometimes bizarre dishes of the time. She’ll also touch on the strange “miracle cures” for overindulgence—such as medicinal brandies and hangover remedies—reflecting the era’s complicated relationship with food and health. This talk will reveal how these meals were not just about food\, but about spectacle and rivalry—blurring the lines between indulgence\, decadence\, and scandal. \n\nDr. Amy Boyington\, is a social and architectural historian who has a PhD in architectural history from the University of Cambridge. Dr. Boyington has worked at Holkham Hall\, Goodwood House and Woburn Abbey. She worked as a research consultant for the National Trust at Stowe Landscape Gardens\, and for Historic Royal Palaces at Kensington Palace. Her debut book is Hidden Patrons: Women and Architectural Patronage in Georgian Britain (Bloomsbury\, 2023). Her most recent book is The Country House Dining Room: A History of Georgian Feasting (Yale University Press). \nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | “The Old Curiosity” of a Lost London Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:The Strand\, London\, c. 1901 \nStep into the vanished world of London’s last West End slum\, once hidden in the maze of streets just northeast of the Strand and Aldwych. Today\, little remains to hint at the area’s notorious past. This was a district of sharp contrasts — a centre of prostitution\, lined with Victorian pornographic bookshops and brothels\, yet also home to some prestigious theatres and a vibrant street market. The area drew eccentric characters\, colourful traders\, and curious visitors\, and preserved pockets of rare architecture dating back to the 16th century. Using old maps\, historic images\, literary extracts (from Dickens\, Pope) and the few surviving traces still visible\, Richard Watkins will guide us on a virtual journey into a neighborhood now swept away by redevelopment. \nThe Strand\, looking eastward from Exeter Change\, c1824 \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | The Polite Tourist
DESCRIPTION:The house and gardens at Canons Ashby\, Northamptonshire \nFor more than five centuries\, English country houses have opened their doors to curious guests. The practice gained particular momentum in the late 16th century as a new social class was emerging—house owners who had stronger links with business than the landed gentry. Aristocrats would visit other building projects with their architects—such as the Dowager Countess of Shrewsbury who visited sites during the early building of Hardwick Hall. As centuries progressed\, more country houses were fashioned to advertise their owner’s wealth and status. This desire to impress presupposes an audience who will visit a historic house for curiosity value rather than to conduct business. From the Elizabethans who strolled around palaces; to the Georgians who appreciated the classical proportions of Kedleston Hall while admiring treasures brought back from the Grand Tour; visiting country houses has always been popular. Historian and author Adrian Tinniswood OBE will take us on an illustrated tour around some of England’s historic houses. We will hear tales of the polite tourists who came to call\, as well as the impolite visitors who may have snuck onto the estate. Finally\, he will explain how country house “snooping” helped support the development of English national preservation. \n\nAdrian Tinniswood OBE studied English and Philosophy at Southampton University and was awarded an MPhil at Leicester University. He has acted as a consultant to the National Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund. He is currently Senior Research Fellow in History at the University of Buckingham and Visiting Fellow in Heritage and History at Bath Spa University. He is the author of 16 books on architectural and social history including The Long Weekend: Life in the English Country House Between the Wars; Behind the Throne: A Domestic History of the Royal Household and Noble Ambition: The Rise and Fall of the English Country House—his most recent publication is The Houses of Guinness (2025). Tinniswood was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2013 Birthday Honours. \nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | The Last Princesses of Punjab
DESCRIPTION:Princesses Bamba Sutherland (center)\, Catherine Hilda Duleep Singh (left) and Sophia Duleep Singh (right) in debutante dress\, 1895. ©Peter Bance Collection \nThis is the story of a family of extraordinary women—a warrior grandmother\, a mother who moved across the world\, three sisters\, and the Queen who was both friend and conqueror. The Princesses of Punjab—Sophia\, Catherine\, and Bamba Duleep Singh—were the daughters of the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. Their journey begins in India but moves – as they did – across Nepal\, Britain\, Egypt\, Germany and Pakistan. Their lives were shaped by female family members\, mother Bamba Miller\, Grandmother Jind Kaur\, and Godmother Queen Victoria. They lived through defining 20th-century moments. They witnessed the fall of the British Empire in India and Pakistan; campaigned for women’s right to vote; nursed soldiers during WWI; and sheltered refugees. Dr. Mishka Sinha will illustrate objects from these women’s lives as shown in Historic Royal Palaces’ exhibition The Last Princesses of Punjab: Sophia Duleep Singh and the women who shaped her (March 2026). Dr. Sinha will explain how their destinies were shaped by global politics and how each expressed womanhood\, power\, and royalty in different way. These women’s lives were marked by privilege\, but also loss\, migration\, and conflicting identities. \n\nDr. Mishka Sinha is a cultural and intellectual historian of 18th–20th century global and imperial history. Dr. Sinha has a BA from St. Xavier’s College\, Mumbai\, received an MPhil at the University of Oxford\, and her PhD at the University of Cambridge. She has taught at many UK and Europea Universities. She has held research fellowships in Berlin; at Cambridge (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship); in Florence (Max Weber); at Oxford; and in Edinburgh. Dr. Sinha has several years of experience working in museums\, arts and heritage in India She was co-curator of the exhibition\, Untold Lives: A Palace at Work (2024). \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Saltram: Rising Family Fortunes and Artistic Transformation
DESCRIPTION:The Saloon\, or Great Drawing Room\, at Saltram\, Devon\, designed by Robert Adam in 1768. ©National Trust Images/John Hammond \nSaltram House in Devon underwent major interior and exterior design changes during the mid-18th century to the early 19th century—transforming the building from a sizable Jacobean house to a fashionable Georgian mansion. Much of these changes were championed by the women of the Parker family: Lady Catherine Parker in the 1740-50s and Lady Theresa Parker after 1769-75. As the family’s aristocratic status and fortune strengthened through strategic marriages\, the Parkers used portraiture to promote ideas of family dynasty and to emphasize their rising social status. Zoë Shearman\, NT Property Curator at Saltram\, will speak about the house’s history from the late middle-ages to the early 19th century and examine the house’s ownership under the Parker family. She will discuss the influence of the family’s artistic relationships (and their London connections) on the house’s interior decoration. She will illustrate the later change to more classically inspired interior decoration\, under Robert Adam\, as well as the acquisition Saltram’s Grand Tour and Chinese collections. Finally\, Ms. Shearman will discuss how the adaptation of Saltram to the Palladian-style\, and the formation of the collection\, paralleled the rise in the family’s fortune and status. \n\nZoë Shearman is the National Trust Property Curator at Saltram House\, Devon. She has significant experience as a curator and consultant with a focus on cultural heritage\, contemporary art\, and social practice. Previously\, she was founder Director/Curator of projects agency Relational; Artistic Co-Director of Spacex Gallery\, Exeter; and Director of Visual Arts for Riverside Studios\, London. She holds a degree in the History of Art from the University of the Arts\, London. She has taught as a number of postgraduate curatorial programs and has worked as a curatorial consultant for Arts Council England\, the Architectural Association\, and University of Exeter. \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Patter\, Pirates\, and Paradox: The World of Gilbert & Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Royal Doulton Figurine The Pirate King Gilbert and Sullivan Mikado \nLong before Rodgers & Hammerstein\, Ahrens & Flaherty\, or Webber & Rice\, W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan forged a groundbreaking partnership that helped shape the foundation of modern musical theatre. Together\, they created 14 Savoy operas—among them H.M.S. Pinafore\, The Pirates of Penzance\, The Mikado\, and The Gondoliers—that captivated audiences in Britain and America. With razor-sharp wit\, topsy-turvy humor\, and memorably lyrical scores\, their works lampooned Victorian society\, politics\, class\, and convention\, establishing comic opera as a cornerstone of British popular culture. Mr. Kenrick will examine the genius of the Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration. He will explore how\ntheir innovation\, theatrical craft\, and uniquely British sensibility anticipated the integrated musical long before the term existed. More than a century later\, their operas continue to delight worldwide audiences as legacy continues to resonate across the stages of the West End and Broadway. \n\n\nJohn Kenrick is a theatre historian\, author\, and educator specializing in the history of musical theatre and film. He is the author of the textbook Musical Theatre: A History and has taught courses including History of Musical Theatre; Great Broadway Songwriters; and Rodgers & Hammerstein at New York University’s Steinhardt School\, The New School\, Marymount Manhattan College\, and the University of the Arts\, Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Sir John Vanbrugh and the English Country House
DESCRIPTION:Fireplace and statues inside the central block at Seaton Delaval Hall\, Northumberland. ©National Trust Images/Dennis Gilbert \nThe country houses designed by Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) are some of the most original and memorable works of architecture in the story of British architecture. Called ‘The Shakespeare of Architects’ by Sir John Soane\, Vanbrugh designed evocative and unforgettable palaces including Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace\, and his other country houses such as the NT’s Seaton Delaval are also unforgettable. Vanbrugh’s personal life was perhaps even more remarkable than his flamboyant architectural creations. He began his career as a wine merchant and then traveled to India in the service of the East India Company. He served as a marine officer and was later arrested and imprisoned in France on suspicion of being a spy. He was also a celebrity playwright before turning his mind to architecture. In honor of the 300th anniversary of Vanburgh’s death in 1726\, architectural historian Jeremy Musson will lecture about Vanbrugh’s life and illustrate and describe the architect’s iconic houses. He will reflect on Vanbrugh’s influence on architects through the 18-and-19th century\, and up until the present day. \n\nJeremy Musson is a leading authority on the English country house. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and sits on a number of boards including the Country House Foundation. He was awarded an MPhil in Renaissance History at the Warburg Institute\, University of London\, in 1989 and was Architectural Editor of Country Life from 1995-2007. He has written and edited hundreds of articles on historic country houses and has presented 14 programmes on BBC 2. He lectures and supervises academic programs for Cambridge University\, London University and Buckingham University\, and the Attingham Summer School. Among his books include Robert Adam: Country House Design\, Decoration & the Art of Elegance (2017)\, The Country House: Past\, Present\, Future: Great Houses of the British Isles (2018)\, and Romantics and Classics: Style in the English Country House (Rizzoli\, 2021). \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Chicago | Hidden Treasures: Tudor Jewels Unearthed
DESCRIPTION:In the middle of the English Civil War\, a London jeweler took advantage of one night’s darkness to secretly bury a wooden casket below his shop on Cheapside street. This box contained all his riches—hastily concealed during his escape from possible fighting. However\, the owner never returned\, and this treasure was forgotten for 300 years. In 1912\, on one of London’s busiest streets\, a work crew began to dig under the basement of a torn down building. Suddenly\, glittering rings\, brooches\, watches\, and rare enameled chains—featuring emeralds\, diamonds and pearls—were unearthed in a discovery that sounds more like fiction than reality. More than 500 pieces of rare Elizabethan and Stuart jewelry were revealed—rare surviving examples only previously known from portraiture. Carol Ann Lloyd will illustrate pieces from the Cheapside Hoard to show how 16th-and-17th-century royals and nobility used jewelry and adornment to establish and communicate power. Ms. Lloyd will explain how these objects were worn and also discuss how the gems demonstrate the impact of luxury items and global exploration in early modern England. Join us as we have a unique opportunity to look at this glittering “time-capsule” that has only been displayed twice: in 1914 and at the Museum of London in 2013. \n\nCarol Ann Lloyd is a popular speaker who shares the stories of Shakespeare and English history. She is the former Manager of Visitor Education at Folger Shakespeare Library. Her podcast\, British History: Royals\, Rebels\, and Romantics\, explores the lives of famous and infamous historical characters. Her latest book is Courting the Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I and Her Suitors. Carol Ann has presented programs at the Smithsonian\, Folger Shakespeare Library\, Agecroft Hall\, and TEDx\, among other venues. \n\nIN-PERSON ONLY: Lecture will begin at 5:30 p.m. CT; Preceded by reception at 5:00 p.m. CT\nLocation: Freeman’s Auction House 1550 W Carroll Ave. Chicago\, IL \nTickets: $35 members; $45 non-members \n \nOr call 212-480-2889 x200

SUMMARY:Denver | Splendor & Sociability: Robert Adam’s Country Houses
DESCRIPTION:Robert Adam was one of the greatest architects and interior designers of Georgian Britain. He introduced and popularized design based on his study of the ruins of ancient Rome\, using ancient classical ornaments\, including low relief plasterwork on ceilings and walls; carved and gilded classical motifs on furniture; and chimney pieces which incorporated classical masks\, wreaths\, and tributes. He also knew how to entice wealthy patrons into creating ambitious projects which evoked the buildings of the ancient world\, and yet worked for the most fashionable of parties\, and for family life. He created memorable interiors by his use of distinctive colors such as pink\, green\, lilac\, and straw\, within his carefully-planned dining rooms and drawing rooms\, libraries and saloons\, as well as breath-taking statue galleries. Adam’s work in British country houses resulted in some of the most memorable social spaces in history\, which also expressed the finest craftsmanship and highlighted the homeowner’s social status and fashionable taste. Architectural historian\, broadcaster\, and author Jeremy Musson will illustrate and discuss country house interiors designed or remodeled by Robert Adam such as Kedleston Hall\, Osterley Park\, Newby Hall\, Syon House\, and Saltram. \nJeremy Musson\, LLB Hons\, M.Phil\, FSA\, is an architectural historian and heritage consultant. He worked for the Victorian Society and the National Trust before joining Country Life\, in 1995\, where he was Architectural Editor in 1998-2007. He continues to contribute articles to Country Life; he is the author of several books and co-wrote and presented BBC 2’s The Curious House Guest series. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, and an affiliate lecturer at Cambridge University’s department of architecture\, he is also chairman of the Historic Houses Foundation. As a heritage consultant since 2007\, he has worked on major historic sites including St Paul’s Cathedral\, Ickworth Park\, Suffolk and Hardwick Hall\, Derbyshire. \nIn-Person: Lecture starts at 6:15 p.m.\, reception following \nLocation: Grant-Humphrey’s Mansion\, 770 Pennsylvania St\, Denver CO 80203 \nTickets: $45 Members; $55 Non-Members \n \nOr call 212-480-2889 x200

He introduced and popularized design based on his study of the ruins of ancient Rome\, using ancient classical ornaments\, including low relief plasterwork on ceilings and walls; carved and gilded classical motifs on furniture; and chimney pieces which incorporated classical masks\, wreaths\, and tributes. He also knew how to entice wealthy patrons into creating ambitious projects which evoked the buildings of the ancient world\, and yet worked for the most fashionable of parties\, and for family life. He created memorable interiors by his use of distinctive colors such as pink\, green\, lilac\, and straw\, within his carefully-planned dining rooms and drawing rooms\, libraries and saloons\, as well as breath-taking statue galleries. Adam’s work in British country houses resulted in some of the most memorable social spaces in history\, which also expressed the finest craftsmanship and highlighted the homeowner’s social status and fashionable taste. Architectural historian\, broadcaster\, and author Jeremy Musson will illustrate and discuss country house interiors designed or remodeled by Robert Adam such as Kedleston Hall\, Osterley Park\, Newby Hall\, Syon House\, and Saltram. \nWill Palin London \nJeremy Musson\, LLB Hons\, M.Phil\, FSA\, is an architectural historian and heritage consultant.

SUMMARY:Zoom | Legal London: From Inn to Bar
DESCRIPTION:In 1234\, when King Henry III issued a decree forbidding the teaching of law within the City of London\, teachers and practitioners of the law were forced to relocate outside the City’s boundaries. They established practices in Holborn where they remained conveniently close to both their commercial clients as well as the Royal Courts at Westminster. Over the centuries\, barristers clustered together to form a series of institutions that evolved into the four prestigious Inns of Court — Gray’s Inn\, Lincoln’s Inn\, Inner Temple\, and Middle Temple. These legal societies possess the exclusive right to call individuals to the Bar to practice as barristers in England and Wales. On this virtual tour\, David Charnick will discuss the rich history and enduring traditions of London’s legal quarter and illustrate some of London’s most remarkable architectural treasures. He will explore the inner workings of Legal London through the buildings\, institutions\, and hidden corners that cluster around Chancery Lane. \nZoom details will be shared in the email confirmation after ordering. \nTickets: $30 Members; $40 Non-members \n \nOr call 212-480-2889 x200

SUMMARY:NYC | The Tredwells’ World of 19th-Century NoHo
DESCRIPTION:New York City entered a period of extraordinary growth and prosperity with the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. As commerce flourished and lower Manhattan became increasingly crowded\, many of the city’s wealthiest merchant families moved north to the fashionable neighborhood now known as NoHo. Led by a guide from the Merchant’s House Museum\, once home to the Tredwell family\, we will explore the elegant streets of this former enclave of New York’s mercantile elite. Discover how prosperous families lived\, worked\, and entertained\, and gain insight into a transformative period in the city’s history through the surviving architecture and stories. The Walking tour is approximately 90 minutes. \nIn-Person ONLY. Space is limited. Pre-registration required. \nTickets: $45 Members; $55 Non-members \n \nOr call 212-480-2889 x200

SUMMARY:Philadelphia | London Clubs: Interiors\, Architecture\, and Art
DESCRIPTION:London has more private members’ clubs than any other city. There are clubs for every interest\, profession\, and background: from actors\, aristocrats\, architects\, artists\, and clergymen; to sailors\, soldiers\, journalists\, fishermen\, and spies. Historian and author Andrew Jones will illustrate some of the most beautiful and unusual of these clubs spanning 300 years of architecture and design. He will highlight the clubs’ original interiors and exquisite furnishings\, as well as showcase the extraordinary collections they hold. For example\, he will reveal the concealed bookcase door in the library of The Travellers Club\, show the taxidermy fish at the Flyfishers’ Club\, and discuss the club that “Winnie-the-Pooh built”. Also\, he will show some of the more intimate spaces—The Beefsteak Club’s loos are wallpapered in facsimiles of members’ signatures in the club’s candidates’ book\, while Home House lavatories display Soviet spy relics. From bohemian to bling\, shabby to chic\, quirky to grand\, Jones will celebrate the city’s strangest and most elegant private dining and drinking establishments. \n\n\nAndrew Jones is an author who has lived in Mayfair—London’s club land—for over 20 years. He is the author of The Buildings of Green Park\, A Tour of Certain Buildings\, Monuments and Other Structures in Mayfair and St. James’s.
