SUMMARY:Overbeck Lecture: Shakespeare Re-imagined for the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Is Shakespeare relevant today? Do we really need a building dedicated to him and his times in the 21st century\, when we are so heavily reliant on the virtual world? The Folger Shakespeare Library\, a sleek expression of early 20th century neoclassicism\, stands as one of the most interesting\, privately held buildings on Capitol Hill. The recent re-opening of the Library after a multi-year construction project revealed a major addition which significantly expanded public spaces\, increased accessibility\, and transformed the visitor experience. \nAt the March 30 Overbeck Capitol Hill History lecture\, the illustrated presentation will provide a brief look at the building’s initial purpose and later changes\, with a major focus on the what\, how\, and why behind its most recent expansion in both building and presentation of Shakespeare’s world. \nMs. Eig\, architectural historian\, historic preservation specialist\, and CEO of EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, consulted with the Folger through the extended renovation process. Her work involved extensive documentation of the historic interior spaces\, updating the building’s landmark status\, working with architects to find sensitive ways to adapt the building\, and guiding the historic approvals process. \nThe Shakespeare Re-imagined lecture will be held Monday\, March 30\, at Hill Center\, Old Naval Hospital\, 921 Pennsylvania Avenue\, S.E. (www.hillcenterdc.org; 202-549-4172). Admission is free\, but a reservation is requested due to limited capacity. Reservations can be made starting March 12. Seating will begin at 6:30 pm; the PowerPoint presentation will begin at 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Overbeck Lecture: Kim Hoagland\, "Comfort and Conveniences in Capitol Hill Row Houses"
DESCRIPTION:Heating\, lighting\, and plumbing provide comfort and convenience to the modern home. How did the historic row houses of Capitol Hill accommodate these modern interventions? On Monday\, November 10\, at 7 pm\, during the Overbeck History Lecture at Hill Center\, Old Naval Hospital\, architectural historian and author Alison K. (Kim) Hoagland will highlight how people’s houses and lives changed in the decades after the Civil War. As fireplaces evolved into central heating\, lamps became electrified\, and outdoor privies moved indoors\, new designs of row houses were called for\, influenced by changing ideas about sanitation and the germ theory. While these conveniences became perceived as necessities\, they were not distributed evenly across economic class and geography. This examination of heating\, lighting\, and plumbing will look at the broader ideas concerning public health as well as the specifics of introducing new facilities into row houses with an emphasis on Capitol Hill. \nAlison K. (Kim) Hoagland is the author of The Row House in Washington\, DC: A History (University of Virginia Press\, 2023)\, recently released in paperback\, as well as The Bathroom: A Social History of Cleanliness and the Body (Greenwood Press\, 2018). Ms. Hoagland first moved to Capitol Hill in 1977 and has lived here for a majority of the years since then. She was the Senior Architectural Historian for the Historic American Buildings Survey of the National Park Service\, and then taught History and Historic Preservation at Michigan Technological University\, where she is now Professor Emerita. She has written four other books on various aspects of the\nvernacular architecture of the U.S. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe November 10 Capitol Hill History lecture will be held at Hill Center\, Old Naval Hospital\, 921 Pennsylvania Avenue\, SE\, (202-549-4172)\, beginning at 7 pm. Admission is free but a reservation is requested due to limited capacity. Reservations can be made starting October 27. Seating will begin at 6:30 pm; the power point presentation will begin at 7 pm.
