This exhibit celebrates the first-known all-woman architecture firm in Boston, founded in 1900 by Lois Lilley Howe, one of the first women to study architecture at MIT, completing the 2 year Partial Course in Architecture in 1890. Howe, along with architects Eleanor Manning and Mary Almy, completed more than 900 commissions throughout the course of their company’s history. The exhibit will look at the role MIT’s architecture program played in supporting women in the field since the 1890s, as well as Howe, Manning & Almy’s influence on the built environment of Cambridge and the firm’s ecofriendly approaches to renovation.

The Maihaugen Gallery (14N-130) is open Monday through Thursday, 10am - 4pm, excluding Institute holidays.
