Stephen F. Byrns, President of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy, will present the Untermyer Gardens Winter Lecture 2024 on Monday, March 11 at 6:00 pm at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, 921 Madison Avenue, New York, with a reception following the lecture.

William Welles Bosworth (1869-1966) was a significant American architect who enjoyed a close relationship to the Rockefeller family for over half a century. He was the architect of such major projects as the AT&T building at 195 Broadway (for which Paul Manship, the sculptor of our own sphinxes, created bronze reliefs of the Four Elements) and the campus of MIT in Cambridge, Mass., as well as designs for gardens such as the Rockefellers’ Kykuit. A confirmed classicist, he was noted for his restrained design, informed by a sophisticated grasp of architectural history, while introducing new ideas that were quite original.
