Weathervane designed by Architect Olive Tjaden
Sunday, September 16, 2018, 2:00 p.m.
“Architect Olive Tjaden: Designing Suburbia in Garden City and Beyond”
Millicent D. Vollono and Lauren V. Drapala, authors
Garden City Senior Center
Olive Tjaden (1904-1997) began her architectural career at a time when residential architecture was at the nation’s forefront. Graduating from Cornell University’s architecture program in 1925, Tjaden was the only female member of the American Institute of Architects for years. Although she achieved her greatest success as a residential designer, she created buildings for automobile dealerships, beauty salons, and religious organizations. Forming her own firm in the late 1920s in Garden City, Tjaden was able to promote her unique status as a female architect to promote her work and expertise to women, making use of the networks provided by women’s social clubs. Tjaden was a prolific designer, building over 2,000 commissions in the twenty years of her New York office and later in South Florida. Our speakers are the authors of an article on Tjaden in the 2016 Nassau County Historical Society Journal. Their illustrated presentation will include additional information from their continuing research. We will celebrate Olive Tjaden’s life and career, with special emphasis on her many Garden City houses, as we uncover one of Long Island's little-known treasures.
More information, and directions, are provided on our Calendar page. There you will also find information about past and future meetings.
Take a look around!
