While the United States is noted for the architecture of its great cities, its small towns also have fascinating stories to tell. What are some of the most unique structures in each state, and how have they defined the American aesthetic? From the earliest days of European settlements and traditional architecture of the native peoples, to the development of new design concepts and technologies, it's time to explore the outsized architectural influence of towns across the nation.

Join New York Adventure Club for a three-part series on the architecture of 50 towns in 50 states, where we'll examine the settlements and structures that have shaped American reality and culture. In Part Three: Mythic West, we'll focus on towns and small cities in the Rockies, desert states, and the west coast.

Led by David V. Griffin, architectural historian of Landmark Branding, this digital showcase featuring a selection of unique structures will include:

• A look at Deadwood, SD, a preserved “wild west” town
• A visit to Catalina, CA, a glamorous resort island off the coast of Los Angeles
• Sedona, AZ, surrounded by glorious national parks
• The unexpected quaintness of Red Cloud, NB
• An in-depth look at each town's construction, context, and current status, with a focus on how culture and innovation drive architectural symbolism

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with David — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
Can't make it live? Don't worry, you'll have access to the full replay for one week after the entire series concludes.

Testimonials
"I enjoyed all 3 of the "50 states architecture" webinars. It was fun to see and hear about interesting buildings in states and towns I've never been to. The handout document gives us a chance to research these places on our own. The presenter was very knowledgeable and witty! Highly recommend." -OJ
"I thought I'd seen a lot of the West but I appreciate your picking towns I've never been to (except for Taos and Catalina)" -Patricia
"Variety of examples in a short time. Excellent presenter" -Sheila
"The 2 hours went by so fast! David's droll delivery, all the back stories of the architecture and the really wonderful choice of buildings kept me engrossed. David's presentations are wonderful, too much to absorb in single webinars- wish they could be made into coffee table books so I could go back and see many of the buildings whenever I want" -Susan

He certainly had done a lot of research for these 3 parts with excellent photos." -Julia
