REGISTRATION FOR PROGRAM NOW OPEN

On Thursday, November 18, architect Gregory J. Scott will join LancasterHistory virtually for an architectural update on C. Emlen Urban, Lancaster’s most prolific architect.

In 2010, there were 104 architectural commissions attributed to C. Emlen Urban. Recent research, however, has increased that number to well over 350 commissions representing 45 building types in 21 different architectural styles. In this lecture, Gregg Scott will reveal the many notable and never-before-seen commissions that have been lost or unaccounted for since Emlen’s passing in 1939, such as the Summer Theater at Rocky Springs Amusement Park, Captain Peoples’ Skating Rink, the Hershey Cow Barn, the 1909 Lancaster County Fair Grand Stand, and more.

Gregory J. Scott, FAIA is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, partner emeritus at RLPS Architects, a columnist for LNP News, and twice recipient of the Smedley Award presented by the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. Gregg previously presented about C. Emlen Urban at LancasterHistory in 2018 to a sold-out crowd and more recently presented the life and works of architect James H. Warner.
