An Afternoon of Cranaleith History
Molly Lester
June 2, 2023
Learn about the life and history of Minerva Parker Nichols!
You are invited to attend a free docent tour of the life, career and legacy of Minerva Parker Nichols who was the first woman in the United States to practice architecture independently. Renowned (and prolifically productive) in her day, Minerva has been largely forgotten in the decades since her death.
Put time on your calendar for this informative experience about the woman who designed the beautiful historic home that sits on the property of Cranaleith Spiritual Center, and learn about this amazing woman who brought a new dimension to the world of architecture.
Please note this is an off site event not held at Cranaleith.
