From the Capitol Hill Restoration Society:

At 6:30 p.m. tonight, Capitol Hill resident, teacher, and architect Judith Capen will repeat her popular lecture and PowerPoint presentation on "What Style Is It?" at the Christ Church Parish Hall, 620 G Street, S.E.

The talk will highlight the eclectic mix of building styles found on Capitol Hill--Federal, Georgian, Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, Tudor Revival, Art Deco, and many more--and look at how roofs, cornices, and porches help define those styles.

Capen is the author of the CHRS pamphlet, Building Styles in the Capitol Hill Historic District. Sponsored by the Capitol Hill Restoration Society, the presentation is free and open to the public, no reservations needed.
