City Of Fort Worth: Interested In Historic Preservation? Attend Building & Brews Lecture

Press release from City of Fort Worth:

October 15, 2021

Join Hull Works founder Brent Hull and fellow building craftsmen for shop talk, beers and snacks at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 at 201 Lipscomb St.

This Building & Brews event will focus on the Romantic Era in architecture (1860-1880). America’s industrial revolution during this period changed the way craftsmen built houses. Balloon framing, new molding manufacturing and cut nails enabled builders to build in new ways.

New Romantic architectural styles took hold in this period, too: Italianate, Second Empire and Gothic Revival. These styles were more ornamental and challenging to build. During this lecture, learn how craftsmen did it.
