CHILDS – On Nov. 16 at the Cobblestone Church, local historian and author Bill Lattin and Cobblestone Museum director Doug Farley will take a look back at dozens of architectural treasures in Orleans County which have succumbed to the wrecking ball.
Lattin recently republished his book on this topic, Architecture Destroyed, and added several new structures that were destroyed over the last few decades.
This latest event, which will begin at 4 p.m., will feature a slide show of “before and after” style with photographs of the original architecture, along with what each of the sites looks like today.
“Bill will be happy to sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase at the event,” Farley said.
He added free will donations are always appreciated.
Following the program, those attending are invited to continue discussion on the topic with Lattin and Farley at the neighboring Tavern on the Ridge (formerly Tillman’s Village Inn) for dinner on their own.
