Later this month, Living New Deal Founder Gray Brechin will present an illustrated lecture as part of Berkeley’s Hillside Club Round Table series. “A New Deal for the Arts & Crafts: Herbert Maier and the California Boys in the National and State Parks” will address the influence of architect Herbert Maier on the architectural styles of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Join Gray as he examines how Maier “transmitted the Arts and Crafts ethos and aesthetic [of the 1910s]… to the myriad of rustic structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps twenty years later.” The talk begins at 7:30 pm.
