On October 15, Jeff Heller spoke about “Historic Preservation in China.” This lecture, part of the San Francisco Architectural Heritage Lecture Series, was a departure from the typical topics related to local preservation. San Francisco Architectural Heritage offers lectures, workshops, seminars and architectural walking tours through which thousands of San Francisco residents and visitors have discovered the city’s diverse built environment. Though tours are offered year-around, the monthly lecture series is held July through November only. Only one more lecture remains in the 2009 series.

On November 19, Woody LaBounty will speak about “Carville-by-the-Sea: Where Vernacular Architecture was also Vehicular Architecture.” This lecture begins at 6:00 p.m. and is held in the Ballroom of the Haas-Lilienthal House, 2007 Franklin Street. Enter by the side door tour entrance, which opens at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets for the lecture are $8 for Heritage members and students with valid ID, $12 for non-members. Lectures do occasionally sell out, so reservations are highly recommended.
