The Morgan-Manning House Museum is extending an invitation to the public to join them at 7 p.m. April 1 at the Clarkson Academy, 8343 West Ridge Rd for a program on Bill Lattin’s updated book, “Architecture Destroyed.”
Lattin, former Cobblestone Society director and Orleans County historian, and Cobblestone director Doug Farley will look back at dozens of architectural treasures in Orleans County which succumbed to the wrecking ball over the decades. Lattin recently republished his book on the subject, adding several additional structures which were destroyed during the last few decades.
A narrated slideshow will be presented in “before and after” style, with photographs of the original structure along with what each of the sites looks like today. Lattin will also sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase that day. The program is free.
This is the cover of “Architecture Destroyed in Orleans County, New York,” a book first written by C.W. “Bill” Lattin in 1984. The cover shows E. Kirke Hart residence in Albion that was demolished in 1942.
