<P><EM>The Robert E. Lewis Memorial Lecture is sponsored by the Baltimore
Architecture Foundation through a gift from the family of architect Robert E.
Lewis.</EM></P>
<P><EM>Robert E. Lewis (1904-1996) was a founder and principal for the
architectural firm of Wrenn, Lewis, and Jencks.Active in Baltimore from 1927
until 1978. Wrenn, Lewis and Jencks designed many significant buildings in
Baltimore and throughout Maryland.Beginning as residential architects in Roland
Park, Guilford, and Homewood, their successful design for the Faculty Club (now
the Hopkins Club) at JHU led them to expand their practice to include commercial
buildings as well.</EM></P>
<P><EM>Their long standing relationship with Johns Hopkins, both the University
and the Hospital gave them a steady stream of commissions, often updating
buildings to reflect the Hopkins’ changing needs.</EM></P>
<P><EM>Their work also included several jobs for the Baltimore Museum of Art as
well as the Maryland State House Office Building in Annapolis. They did not work
in a particular style, rather their buildings tended to reference their
neighborhoods always with a nod toward Classical detailing.</EM><EM>Most of the
firms records are now housed at the State Archives in Annapolis. Mr. Lewis’s
personal library and many of the firms renderings were given to the Baltimore
Architecture Foundation by the Lewis family. The BAF would like to thank the
Lewis family for their support and generosity in endowing the Robert E. Lewis
Memorial Lecture.</EM></P></DIV>
