Tomorrow morning at 10 A.M. at the Carnegie Center, located at 3738 Eastern Avenue in Columbia Tusculum, architect Dave Zelman will present "Antebellum Cincinnati: America's First Boomtown", detailing the remaining evidence of this important and vital time in Cincinnati history – much of which has been lost to progress, neglect, or the advance of time.
Admission is $5 for CPA members and $10 for guests. Reservations are required and can be obtained by calling (513) 721-4506 or by e-mailing info@cincinnatipreservation.org.
Zelman, president of the Riverside Civic & Welfare Club and a CPA board member, previously has presented sold out talks for CPA on "Hidden Treasures of the West Side" and "Riverside: Cincinnati's Oldest Neighborhood".
He and his wife Pamela won a 2005 CPA Rehabilitation Award for their restoration of the Matthew McWilliams House (1840) on River Road.
