American Architecture in Coverlet Design Opening Reception

Wednesday evening 6-8.

The Gallery is located on the first floor of the Fred Rogers Center 

 About the Exhibit

Woven into the fabric of many of the nineteenth-century coverlets in the McCarl Collection are images of homes, churches, taverns, factories, and state buildings, cityscapes and rural landscapes alike.  This exhibit highlights architectural designs woven into nineteenth-century coverlets.  You will find images of monumental structures that remain today, such as the United States Capitol Building, as well as buildings for the common people:  taverns, factories, churches, and humble homes.  Busy urban cityscapes with eastern flair are included as well as rural homesteads with simple cabins and meetinghouses.
