Preservation Houston members are invited to celebrate the organization’s work in the past year, welcome new leaders and mingle with friends during the 2024 Member Reception and Meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 18.
The evening will begin with a reception on the 29th floor of the North Tower of Pennzoil Place, Philip Johnson and John Burgee's landmark skyscraper, where we'll enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres with a bird's-eye view of the downtown skyline. At 7 p.m. we'll start a brief membership meeting to recap the valuable education and advocacy work your membership supports. The event will conclude with a program featuring Kathryn O’Rourke and Ben Koush, the author and photographer behind the new book Home, Heat, Money, God: Texas and Modern Architecture, a look at mid-20th century architecture in the Lone Star State.
O’Rourke and Koush’s book will be available for sale and signing at the event through our friends at Brazos Bookstore. You may pre-order your copy online for $45; please order by June 10 for pickup at the event or at Brazos.
Admission to the Member Reception and Meeting is free and open to all Preservation Houston and Pier & Beam members and their guests. (Not a member? Has your membership lapsed? It’s easy to join or renew online!)
RSVP online by Friday, June 14.
