OCT 4: Annual Society Members’ Meeting Presentation: Upstairs, Downstairs at the Sanborn House with Ellen Knight
The Sanborn House rose as a rare Beaux Arts residence on a hill overlooking Winchester during an early 20th-century age of prosperity.
- Who lived in the house and what do they teach about the structure of Winchester society?
- How did the house reflect the town’s development and built environment of the time?
Using new research, Dr. Knight will reveal insights into the lives and fortunes of the Sanborn family and staff, Sanborn House, and Winchester itself.
WINCAM will be live streaming this event for everyone who can’t make it to the Sanborn House. Here’s the link to watch from home: WINCAM Live Broadcast LINK
