Presented by Molly Lester, Research Associate, PennPraxis; University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design; 2019 Fellow, James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation 

Although her formal independent practice lasted just eight years and was concentrated in the Philadelphia area, Minerva Parker Nichols (1862-1949) built a career and clientele of national significance in the late nineteenth-century’s professionalizing field of architecture. Trained as an apprentice, Nichols designed over 60 commissions around the country, earning plaudits and extensive press coverage from her peers. Yet, she is rarely recognized today for her contributions to the field of architecture. This talk, presented by Molly Lester, is based on research that began 9 years ago for a Master’s thesis and continues today.
