Joseph W. Royer: Urbana’s Architect

A Multimedia Presentation by Brian Adams

 

Urbana-born architect Joseph William Royer designed many of Urbana’s signature buildings, including the Champaign County Courthouse, Urbana High School, and The Urbana Free Library.   

In Brian Adam’s recently published book, he documents the amazing scope of Royer’s work and what is known about his personal life. 

 

The presentation will include photos of the most significant Royer-designed buildings. Brian Adams is the assistant director of the Public Service Archaeology & Architecture Program at the University of Illinois.  He became interested in historic preservation after he purchased and renovated Urbana homes and researched their history.

Color and texture abound in the paintings of local artist Bonnie Switzer. At one time an elementary school teacher in Urbana, Bonnie also pursued an Associate in Fine Arts degree from Parkland College and decided to become a full-time painter. Her works range from colorful watercolors of outdoor scenes to complex abstracts that incorporate many different objects and materials.
