The Arts and Crafts Society of Central New Your will sponsor an illustrated lecture by author Leslie Freudenheim on Wednesday, 17 May 2006, 7:00 pm, at The Warehouse (Armory Square), Syracuse University. Reception and book signing will follow. Admission: Free to members.

Leslie Freudenheim's new book, Building with Nature: Inspiration for the Arts & Crafts Home, focuses on the beginnings (1865 and on) of the California Shingle and California Mission Style Arts & Crafts houses, and the origins of the trend toward building simple rustic homes in harmony with nature. Some of the key players in this drama were Bernard Maybeck, Willis Polk, Ernest Coxhead, A.C. Schweinfurth, John Galen Howard, Charles Keeler, Julia Morgan, and their "wizard" mentor, the Swedenborgian minister Joseph Worcester. Suprisingly, the famous Chicago architect Daniel H. Burnham, New York's Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted, and Sierra Club founder John Muir also contributed to these developments.

Building with Nature: Inspiration for the Arts & Crafts Home presents some revolutionary ideas, including exciting new material that places California in the forefront of the Arts & Crafts movement. Leslie Freudenheim will talk about her discoveries, quote letters from Joseph Worcester, Daniel H. Burnham, Bernard Maybeck, William Morris, Frederick Law Olmsted, John Muir, , and illustrate her lecture with rare historic images.

Leslie Mandelson Freudenheim grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, completed her B.A. at Smith College, M.A. at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, and completed coursework for the Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. She published her first book with co-author Elisabeth Sussman, in 1974, Building with Nature: Roots of the San Francisco Bay Region Tradition. (Peregrine Smith). Freudenheim also contributed to the book Capital Drawings: Architectural Designs for Washington, D.C., from the Library of Congress (The Johns Hopkins University Press, November 2005). Previously she wrote a weekly column on architecture and urban affairs for the Baltimore Sun and contributed to The Washington Post and Museum News.
