May is National Preservation Month and what better way to celebrate than by hearing a lecture about one of the 10 Great Streets in America.
Historical archeologist Meredith Hawkins Trautt will speak on "The History of the Delmar Loop through Architecture" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 29, at the Regional Arts Commission.
The event is free and open to the public.
The Delmar Loop has been named "One of the 10 Great Streets in America" by the American Planning Association. It is an unusual blend of high style and vernacular architecture which begins at the Lion Gates in University City and travels down Delmar to DeBaliviere and ends at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park.
The Archaeological Research Center (ARC) was commissioned to study the Delmar Loop's architectural heritage as part of the environmental assessment for the Loop Trolley Project.
Historical archeologist Meredith Hawkins Trautt, a cultural resource specialist for ARC, will present the findings and explain how various architectural styles are silent markers of the history of the neighborhood and how architecture helped shape this unique community.
