Reynolda House presents From the Main Line to Tobacco Road: The Architecture of Charles Barton Keen

July 26, 2012

From the Main Line to Tobacco Road: The Architecture of Charles Barton Keen is the talk being given at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art this Sunday at 3:00pm by Harold W. Tribble Professor of Art Emerita Margaret Supplee Smith. Admission is free.

Beginning in the 1920s Keen designed 25 homes in Winston-Salem. While Reynolda House tops the list, you can find four more magnificent examples on Stratford Road just a stone’s throw from Five Points.

The talk is sponsored by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and Ludowici Roof Tile—yes, makers of all those green tiles at Reynolda House. If you have architectural drawings by Charles Barton Keen or know of a Keen home in W-S that’s slipped beneath Margaret’s radar, she’d love to hear from you. Drop her an email at smith@wfu.edu.

Margaret's publications include North Carolina Women Making History (1999, UNC Press) by Smith and Emily Herring Wilson, which won the Mayflower Society Award for Nonfiction given by the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association. Margaret's new book, The American Ski Resort: Architecture, Style, and Experience, is due from the University of Oklahoma Press in Fall 2013.
