SUMMARY:The American Country House Foundation\, Virtual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The American Country House Foundation\nwith \nVictoria Kastner\nAuthor of \nJulia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect \nVirtual Lecture for Book Club and Museum Members\nMarch 13\, 2025\n6 p.m. EST\, 3 p.m. PST\nThe American Country House Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the understanding and preservation of country houses across America. No matter the size or style\, we believe that these buildings play an important role in understanding the history of America and enriching our cultural landscape. \n\n\n\nOur educational Lecture Program is designed to expand the public’s knowledge and interaction with country houses. On March 13th\, we are pleased to welcome Victoria Kastner to discuss her biography on architect Julia Morgan. By exploring both Morgan’s work and her life\, Victoria weaves a captivating tale about courage\, vision\, and resilience.\n \n\n\n\nJulia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Over the first half of the 20th century\, she left an indelible mark on the American West. Of her remarkable 700 creations\, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. Morgan spent thirty years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst—forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together\, they built a spectacular and unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood’s golden age\, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. \nVictoria Kastner’s compelling biography draws on interviews\, letters\, and Morgan’s diaries\, including never-before-seen reflections on faith\, art\, and her life experiences. Morgan’s friendship with Hearst\, her passion for California’s landscape\, her struggles with familial dementia\, and her devotion to architecture reveal her to have been a singularly brilliant and determined artist. \nBook Club & Museum Members\, please join us on March 13th at 6 p.m. EST or 3 p.m. PST. \nDetails to follow.
