Experience Architecture: Sacramento's R Street: Past, Present, and Future

Experience Architecture: Sacramento's R Street: Past, Present, and Future

Presented by American Institute of Architects (AIA) - Central Valley at Online/Virtual Space

As a part of AIACV's Experience Architecture 2020, join us for this presentation and self-guided walking tour with historian William Burg.

Historian William Burg will present the story of R Street's past, present, and future, combining historic photos from the Center for Sacramento History and other collections with the surprising stories behind the photos.

Explore the eras of R Street, from its early days as Gold Rush transportation hub, its later days as an industrial corridor, its important role in Sacramento arts and counterculture, and its contemporary place as a historic district and mixed-use corridor. The presentation will conclude with an invitation to take a self-guided tour along R Street at your own pace.

Tour guide William Burg has over a decade of experience in research and rehabilitation of historic buildings, and has written seven books about Sacramento's history.

Zoom link will be provided to registered participants.

Experience Architecture is a public-outreach event designed by AIA Central Valley to facilitate greater transparency with the public in how architects create our built environment and how it impacts their daily lives; to create an ongoing dialogue to inform a distinct, regional, architectural identity; and to highlight existing relationships between the region and its architecture.
