Wanted to bring to your attention to two upcoming events that will focus on the history and architecture of Northbrae.

Sponsored by Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association, the related events are:

Presentation on the development of Northbrae: This talk, scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, at Northbrae Community Church, will serve as a prelude to a BAHA house and garden tour later in the month. The speaker is UC Berkeley art history Professor Margaretta Lovell, who has been working with students to document Northbrae’s architectural and social history. The talk will be preceded by a reception that begins at 6 p.m. For more information and tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/live-on-line-talk-by-ucb-prof-building-berkeleys-northbrae-neighborhood-tickets-997307171597?aff=erelpanelorg
