LUHR’S LEGACY LECTURE: Saturday, May 17th

We are excited to bring author and skyscraper historian Mark Houser to speak at the exhibit on the history of the Luhr’s Tower and how the Luhr family helped build up Phoenix in the city’s most pivotal years in this special lecture. Do NOT miss out on this unique presentation where we dig into Phoenix history during the Art Deco Era.

A skilled researcher, he digs deep into these landmarks and the lives of the business tycoons, architects, and other personalities behind them. By sharing these stories, Mark helps audiences to appreciate marvels in their cities they may not have noticed before — and the risks and innovation represented by these “machines to make the land pay.”

WHEN: Saturday, May 17th at 11am

COST: $25, includes admission to exhibit
