| Christopher Jend at the Plainfield Public Library on Saturday, November 23, 2024 delivering his presentation Two Architects, Two Brothers, Two Houses |
Organized by the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District and the Plainfield Public Library, the video of my recent presentation
Two Architects, Two Brothers, Two Houses is now online. The presentation focuses on the careers of architects E. G. W. Dietrich and A. L. C. Marsh and their designs of two homes in Plainfield, NJ for the brothers J. S. and S. L. Schoonmaker. I also finally unlock the mystery of which architect designed Questover, the home of J. S. Schoonmaker. To watch my Plainfield presentation,
