We, the House: a Novel by Warren Ashworth and his wife Susan Kander. Co-sponsored by Glessner House and CCSAH.
In 1833 Chicago, balloon framing was an invention whose timehad come. This book will explore the roots of this innovation and discuss how, by 1850, it had rapidly become the primary method of construction from Illinois westward, without which the history of this country would be much different.” Ashworth will weave in the story of one such house, “Ambleside”,built by his great grandfather on the Kansas prairie in 1878.
Warren Ashworth is an architect, architectural historian, professor, and carpenter who has built both timber-framed and stick-framed structures. Susan Kander is acomposer and librettist whose latest opera, “dwb” (Driving while Black) premiered in 2020 in New York.

Iowa Architectural Foundation to lead tour of Sullivan buildings in Cedar Rapids
The Iowa Architectural Foundation (IAF) will lead an in-person tour April 2 of two historic buildings in Cedar Rapids designed by famed Chicago architect Louis Sullivan.
Local historian Mark Stoffer Hunter will guide guests through St. Paul’s United Methodist Church and The Peoples Savings Bank, now home to Popoli Ristorante and Sullivan’s Bar.The tour will run from 2 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. April 2.Early bird tickets are available on Eventbrite until March 18 for $15. After that, regular price tickets are $20.The tours launch at the new Third Avenue entrance of St. Paul’s Church. Built in 1914, the church and neighboring house, where Sullivan resided while designing the building, offer a window into Sullivan’s life late in his career. Mr. Stoffer Hunter will lead a tour of the outside, into the remodeled narthex and through the sanctuary.Following the church tour, attendees will make their way to the Third Avenue entrance of The Peoples Savings Bank. Built in 1911, the bank is known as the second of a number of small “jewel box” banks in the Midwest designed by Mr. Sullivan. Guests will be invited through the historic atrium, inside the vault, and to visit the basement, a space rarely open to the public.
