About this Event
In 1929, after years of planning, the new Boston Avenue Methodist Church held its first worship service. Soon afterward, a controversy originated about who designed the nontraditional, Art Deco structure: Adah Robinson or Bruce Goff. The Center for Public Secrets raises the hush discourse in a public forum panel talk with special guests Teresa Holder and Kevin Adkisson. The conversation will be moderated by CPS's Creative Director, Western Doughty.
