The Walter Burley Griffin Society of America holds an Annual Meeting each spring. The events includes several lectures in the morning followed by a housewalk of nearby buildings of architectural significance. It is usually a one day event which changes location each year and focuses around locations that have buildings designed by Walter Burley Griffin.
EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING & HOUSEWALK

Join us in Southern Illinois:
Edwardsville, Elsah & St. Louis!
The eighteenth annual meeting of the Walter Burley Griffin Society of America will be held in downstate Illinois near St. Louis, Missouri. The featured building will be the Ralph Griffin house in Edwardsville, built for Walter’s brother’s family in 1909-10. Visited by the Griffin Society in 2002, the house is now fully restored and will be the subject of a monograph to be issued by the Society in time for the June meeting. The Society plans to stop in nearby Elsah, Illinois, to tour Principia College, the extraordinary campus designed by California architect Bernard Maybeck, and to visit Louis Sullivan sites in St. Louis on Sunday.
