A dominant presence in neighborhoods across New England, the triple-decker is the region's iconic multiple-family housing type. But where did they come from and why did we stop building them? In this illustrated lecture, Historic New England's Sally Zimmerman explores the origins and design of triple-deckers, the push to ban them in the early twentieth century, and their place in the social and architectural history of New England's urban landscape.


This is the second lecture in our annual Twilight Talks series, a partnership with the Victorian Society of America/New England chapter.
