Join the ICAA for a presentation on the recent book ‘Gideon Shryock, his life and architecture 1802-1880’ with our hosts Compass Realty on 14^th street.

Gideon Shryock, Kentucky’s first formally trained architect, brought the international style of the Greek Revival to Kentucky, and in the process imparted a template of architectural and professional dignity for others to follow. In his talk to the ICAA, “Gideon Shryock: Tracing the Greek Revival in Kentucky,” Gill draws from his award-winning book, Gideon Shryock: His Life and Architecture, 1802-1880, to show how Shryock influenced and was influenced by his great peers of the era as he helped evolve the American Greek Revival into a mature style.

A former resident of Louisville, Scott Gill practices real estate in Austin Texas, where he recently joined the board of the Texas Chapter of the ICAA. He is the award-winning co-author of three books on Kentucky architecture and has taught architectural history at the University of Texas at Austin. Gill holds a PhD in architectural history from UT—Austin, an MBA from MIT, a Master of Architecture from Rice, and a bachelor’s degree in history from Stanford. He has given numerous talks, including to the ICAA in New York and in Austin.
