“Boston’s Oldest Buildings and Where to Find Them”: A Conversation with Joseph Bagley and Robert Allison

Join us in conversation with City of Boston Archaeologist Joseph Bagley, author of Boston’s Oldest Buildings and Where to Find Them, and acclaimed local historian Robert Allison as we examine Boston’s 50 oldest buildings. Guided by Professor Allison’s unmatched knowledge of Boston’s historic past in tandem with the latest edition of Bagley’s highly engaging look at the city’s brick-and-mortar beginnings, this exploration of Boston’s early history presents a waypoint on the road to its upcoming 400th anniversary. Bagley and Allison will lead audience members on a centuries-long journey through maps, photographs, and an exploration of the city’s historic preservation movement. The conversation begins with the program’s venue, the Old South Meeting House. Saved from destruction by a small cadre of Boston women—engaged in what is now remembered as only the second such act of historic preservation in our nation’s history—the Old South Meeting House provides the perfect setting for this compelling program. Presented in partnership with the<a href="https://www.wgbh.org/forum-network/partners/ford-hall-forum"> Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University</a>, <a href="https://brandeisuniversitypress.com/">Brandeis University Press</a>, and <a href="https://www.wgbh.org/forum-network">GBH Forum Network</a>, Revolutionary Spaces is proud to host this special event, which is free and open to the public thanks to the generous support of the <a href="https://lowellinstitute.org/">Lowell Institute</a>. Doors will open at 6:00 pm and the program will begin at 6:30 pm.
