The ninth season of Congress Park Neighbors Historic
Speakers series is presented by the CPN Historic Preservation

each month. The lectures are held at Heitler Hall,

Lectures are free and open to the public. Parking

Lecture topics are chosen to help the owners of old

history and architectural style of these homes. If
you have questions or would like to help, please contact
