Architecture & Historic Preservation Series -- "Exploring Our Historic Districts: 'Efficient' Single Family Homes & Neighborhoods in 1920s Long Beach"
Online Event
The Miller Special Collections Room at the Billie Jean King Main Library is pleased to announce our next big online Architecture & Historic Preservation Series event, "Exploring Our Historic Districts: 'Efficient' Single Family Homes & Neighborhoods in 1920s Long Beach," presented by Sam & Linda Dragga of Long Beach Heritage.
Please join us for an engaging afternoon exploring the architectural history and preservation of some intriguing historic districts in our beautiful city. In the 1920s, the quest for efficient housing was urgent when workers started flooding into Long Beach to work in the oil industry. Several of the city's historic districts have preserved representative examples of the modest housing that developers were rushing to provide, and two neighborhoods will be discussed that capture a popular architectural style and reflect changing homeowner needs during this time.
This free program will take place online via Zoom and registration is required to attend.
