Artist Talk, Book Signing and Reception
Join us for an exciting evening with Gregory J. Scott, the acclaimed author of Urban Legend, as he presents his latest work, Urban Alphabet. This new book focuses on the architectural legacy of C. Emlen Urban, the renowned architect who shaped the visual landscape of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Urban Alphabet celebrates the beauty of Urban's designs through typography and photographs.
