Montague will explore the three giants of American architecture: Henry Hobbs Richardson, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Their trend-setting styles were completely revolutionary for their day, and helped to inspire a completely unique brand of American design. Mark your calendars! The lecture is free, but signups are necessary.Event InfoThe Erie Accent: What is It, and How has It Changed Over the Past Century? || Wednesday Jun 25th | 07:00 PM EDT
Linguist and researcher Dr. Keelan Evanini will describe the dialect of North American English spoken in and around Erie, Pennsylvania, and trace the history of how it changed over the course of the 20th century.

Several members of his extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) still live in Erie, and Evanini has come back to visit as an adult with family.
