NANTUCKET: The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) is pleased to present Pat Butler, whose presentation is based on the book Sea Captains’ Houses and Rose-Covered Cottages at the Food for Thought Series on Thursday, March 27, 2008, in the Whaling Museum, 13 Broad Street, at noon. Free admission; bring your lunch.
Four friends—writers Margaret Moore Booker, Rose Gonnella, and Pat Butler, along with photographer Jordi Cabré—first met in 1998 to plan an educational book that would celebrate Nantucket’s historic architecture. In 2003 Rizzoli International Publications published Sea Captains’ Houses and Rose-Covered Cottages: The Architectural Heritage of Nantucket Island,which was named a New York Times notable book of the year in architecture. Author Pat Butler will lead the illustrated lecture and provide an overview of Nantucket’s architectural heritage, from the seventeenth through the twenty-first century.
The April 3 Food for Thought will feature Kathrina Pearl, who will discuss “Historic Gardens and Landscape Preservation.”
Each talk begins at noon and is free to the public. Bring your lunch. Whaling Museum, 13 Broad Street. For additional information about the Food for Thought series, please call 508-228-1894, ext. 0, or visit www.nha.org to view the full schedule.
