I am thrilled to be able to report that my book, Peabody & Stearns: Country Houses and Seaside Cottages, has been awarded the Henry Russell Hitchcock Award by The Victorian Society in America. This honor is given to an outstanding book on 19th century architecture. The presentation will be made at the Annual Meeting of The Victorian Society in America, to be held in Portland, Oregon, the end of May.
While I will be receiving the award, many thanks go out to everyone who helped me research and write this book---as Roxie and Velma say, "We couldn't have done it without you!!"
Other P&S notes:
I will be the featured speaker at the annual meeting of the Radnor, Pennsylvania, Historical Society next month---I am looking forward to returning to the Main Line, and to renewing friendships and acquaintances there. Of course, there will be a booksigning!!
AND please take note of the first ever 1-day symposium to celebrate the architecture of Peabody & Stearns: http://www.tennisfame.com/node/771 . This is being held in Newport, Rhode Island, at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and will include a morning of lectures (including me!!), and an afternoon visiting 3 Peabody & Stearns' designed cottages in Newport. Visit the linked website for registration information.
