Early Women in Architecture Featured in Exhibit, Lecture

  • by Megan Young

During April, the exhibit Early Women of Architecture in Maryland will be on display in the Community Center. As part of the Greenbelt Museum’s quarterly lecture series, a free talk will be presented on Victorine Du Pont Homsey (1900-1998), one of the women featured in the exhibit. The talk is scheduled for Thursday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 201 of the Community Center. Light refreshments will be served following the lecture.

Homsey and her husband Samuel founded their architectural practice in Wilmington, Del., in 1935. It was one of the first husband-and-wife architectural firms in the U.S. During WWII, the family temporarily relocated to Washington, D.C., where Homsey worked with the Federal Housing Administration to design war worker housing. In collaboration with architect Eugene H. Klaber, she designed a number of educational and service buildings in Greenbelt. Soon after the war ended, the Homseys returned to their Delaware practice, but continued to have projects in Maryland, including some award winners.
