C.S.I Americana
Don Beard, Historical Preservation Commissioner and local Victorian Enthusiast will present "C.S.I Americana: Culturally Suggested Inspirations in American architecture from the 1830's to the 1930's"
The program will describe how the inspiration for domestic and public architecture during the pre and post Victorian years 1830 to 1930 resulted in a series of architectural revival styles. A PowerPoint compilation of historical photographs and special illustrations will be used to show early homes and public buildings in San Bernardino and how they were reflective of America's idealized, if not romanticized look backward to such past cultures as ancient Greece and Rome, Gothic France, Renaissance Italy and Spain, Second Empire France, Tudor England, and yes, even California's Mission Days.
