Brent Hull is Hosted by ICAA to Discuss Historic Design and Architectural Millwork

ICAA event "An Evening with Brent Hull" at 1401 N. Carroll Avenue in Dallas.
The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, Texas Chapter, (ICAA) held the event “Authenticity and Historic Design in Architectural Millwork: An Evening with Brent Hull” at 1401 N. Carroll Avenue in Dallas.

President of Texas ICAA Mary Peyton Burgher in foreground of “standing room only” crowd to hear talk by Brent Hull on the history of moldings. When Brent Hull was giving a fabulous talk on the history and evolution of moldings, it made me think of what a French friend told me once: If you use the best possible ingredients, it is hard to prepare a bad meal. My thought is that if you use the best proportions for the placement of your moldings, it is hard to have bad moldings.
