I am so excited to share my latest research on architect E. G. W. Dietrich with the Scranton community. The Albright Memorial Library and Lackawanna Historical Society have invited me to present:
ARCHITECT E. G. W. DIETRICH
From Steel City to the Electric City
Saturday, October 21, 2023 at 2pm
Albright Memorial Library, Scranton, PA
Scranton, Pennsylvania boasts the largest concentration of Dietrich designs with more than twenty houses (and counting)! Scranton’s incredibly rapid growth from the iron, coal, and railroad industries at the end of the nineteenth century aligned with Dietrich’s own career success as he moved to New York and grew in prominence. Beginning in 1887 with the Thomas E. and Evelyn Wisner Jones residence “Field Stone”, Dietrich designed homes for some of the most important citizens of Scranton in the Hill Section and North Park (Green Ridge) neighborhoods.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Chris
