Docent Talk:

Free and open to the public!
Two Towers
Park View Room, 230 Park Avenue, Worcester
Thursday, March 12 at 6PM

Please join us for the second in our series of docent presentations this year on local historical architecture in Worcester. PW docent Michael Hally will present "Two Towers" at the Park View Room at Cornerstone Bank. The program will explore Worcester's earliest and latest skyscraper. The Plaza Tower at 446 Main Street recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. Its modern glass skin is in stark contrast to Worcester’s first skyscraper, the State Mutual Building, at 340 Main Street. Separated by four blocks and seventy-five years, their architects fashioned these buildings around social, political and economic currents of their times. Do they represent good architecture? How do they shape the city around them? Can they survive? Take a look at the inceptions of these two important Worcester buildings and their place in the city’s history. 

Reservations are not required.
