The Friends of Modern Architecture/Lincoln will host tours of the 1948 Schwann House and studio on Sunday, Oct. 16 every hour on the hour from 2–5 p.m. The house was designed by noted architect Walter Bogner, a resident of Lincoln and a professor of architecture at Harvard. He designed the house for the young William Schwann, an organist and musicologist who became widely known for publishing the Schwann Music catalogue.
Tours will be led FoMA board members Matt Andersen-Miller, who has recently restored the house, and Woodie Arthur, who will speak about the house restoration, Bogner’s design, and the Schwanns’ love for the house. Proceeds from ticket sakes ($50) benefit FoMA’s mission of preservation, documentation, and education about Modern architecture. Visit the FoMA donation page to purchase tickets; after specifying the dollar amount, indicate in the notes section which hour’s tour you would like to attend; we may have to adjust your time depending on demand.
