Join celebrated AIA Fellow Patrick Ahearn for a discussion of his latest book History Reinterpreted detailing the dramatic transformation of the north wing of Duxbury's Myles Standish Hotel into a captivating seaside residence. By exploring his past, including his personal impact on Boston's Back Bay, and touching upon inspiring homes he has designed throughout New England, Patrick will explain how the preservation of an idea as opposed to a precise structure can tug at the sentiments of memory, present a romantic attitude, and elicit a nostalgic response.
