Exhibition of Adolf Cluss, Architect
Adolf Cluss was the architect of the Church of Our Father, which was the First Universalist Church of Washington, DC, from 1883 until 1925. Among other public buildings, he was the architect of the Eastern Market, several public schools, and the red Smithsonian building. The organizers of this exhibit went to great lengths to get pictures of the buildings that are no longer standing, including the Church of Our Father. Adolf Cluss: From Germany to America, Shaping a City Worthy of a Republic continues through Feb. 28, 2006, at the Charles Sumner School Museum, 1201 17th St. NW. Hours are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Free.
See the Washington Post for an interesting review entitled, “Red Architect” Adolf Cluss: A Study in Sturdy, September 17.
