About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

On Friday, July 11, Thomas Vitanza (Registered Architect, AIA) and Catherine Lavoie (HABS) present the history and architecture of the Herald Mail building at 100 Summit Avenue, Hagerstown, a significant building designed by a modernist architectural firm in the 1970s that became a cutting-edge newspaper printing plant for Washington County.

This month's drink is the Harvey Wallbanger, a cocktail combining vodka, orange juice, and Galliano, a popular drink during the 1970s, when the Herald Mail building was constructed. Doors open at 5:30 PM and light hors d'oeuvres will be served!

Culture & Cocktails 2025 has been made possible by the generous support of the James and Mary Schurz Foundation.

Please note: Weather depending, there is a possibility this event will be held outside in the Miller House Garden.
