House Tour Explores Architecture of Harris Armstrong

Innovative St. Louis modernist architect Harris Armstrong (1899-1973) was one of the first architects in St. Louis to employ the tenets of the International style, and took inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs. A House Tour, sponsored by the Sheldon Art Galleries will showcase four of these homes, three of which he designed for himself.  Each are examples of some of the best modernist/mid-century designs in St. Louis. Tickets for the Harris Armstrong House Tour are $25 in advance, $35 at the door.  Visit www.TheSheldon.org for all the details.
