Centre County Historical Society hosts Agricultural Historian
Laurin Goad Davis is an architectural historian working in the Architecture and Landscape Architecture Library at Penn State. She's written on school facilities and women in architecture. In her current role, she creates metadata for the Central Pennsylvania Architecture and Landscape Architecture Digital Collection and works on other local architecture projects for the Libraries.
Her illustrated talk will focus on Philip Hallock's efforts to bring modern design elements to Centre County. Discussion will include his houses as well as commercial buildings. The talk will also touch on his early training and later efforts to introduce students to Modernism and international trends.
