Designing the QC with Ellen Shapley: Untold and Unusual Stories, Part 2 - Bettendorf Public Library

A local-history talk for adults in the library's Gilbert and Lillienthal Rooms, part two of the "Untold and Unusual Stories" series. The library says: "Discover the architects, trends, and styles that created the Quad Cities' unique sense of place." The talk follows three 20th-century architects and one Hollywood "starlet," all Davenport natives, from 1939 McClelland Heights to Chicago, New York and Connecticut and back. The speaker is Ellen Shapley, who has given tours and talks in Chicago, Portland, Hood River and the Quad Cities. The listing sets no registration requirement — no registration window exists on it — and names no admission price, and this library prints no blanket free-admission sentence, so no cost is claimed here. The library says the programme is sponsored by the Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library, which is a funding credit and not a price. Accessibility accommodations: the library asks that you call 563-344-4175 in advance.
