This slide and lecture presentation examines how the succession of buildings on the site of the new Holtschneider Performance Center reflects 150 years of Lincoln Park's evolving needs and changing architectural tastes.

The program is organized my Lincoln Park Community Research Initiative and sponsored by Bridgeview Bank. Founded during the DePaul Centennial (1998-1999), the Lincoln Park Community Research Initiative is a partnership of Lincoln Park community organizations, businesses and DePaul University. The goal of the initiative is to collect, document and preserve the shared history of DePaul University and the Lincoln Park community. The educational programs, which are held in the spring and fall, examine the diverse cultural and political issues of the community and city at large.
