The Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County will present "Look Left - Look Right! Chances Are It's an Urban Design!" on Wednesday, April 9, at 6:30 p.m. at Sehner-Ellicott-von Hess House, 123 N. Prince St., Lancaster. Doors will open at 6 p.m. This program is part of the 2025 Speaker Series, "The Preservation Palette: Colors of Our Past."

Architect and historian Gregory J. Scott will reveal new discoveries about one of Lancaster's most influential architects, C. Emlen Urban. Thanks to innovative research techniques, previously unknown commissions by a young Urban have been uncovered, showcasing the scope of his work across the city.

Scott is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and a partner emeritus at RLPS Architects. A newspaper columnist and a preservationist, Scott has twice received the Smedley Award from the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County. His previous programs have drawn sold-out crowds, including his 2018 presentation on Urban at LancasterHistory and his more recent talk on architect James H. Warner. Scott is also the author of two books about C. Emlen Urban: "Urban Legend" and "Urban Alphabet: The Work of C. Emlen Urban A-Z."

Admission is by donation. Space is limited to 50 attendees. To register, visit https://hptrust.org/.
