An exhibition featuring the work of architect Edward
Loewenstein will open Tuesday, Nov. 6 at Elon University
School of Law. Loewenstein designed the H. Michael Weaver
building which houses the law school at the corner of Greene
Street and Friendly Avenue in downtown Greensboro. The
exhibition, designed by art students at the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro, will be on display through Jan.
31, 2008.
Loewenstein is credited with bringing modernism to
Greensboro. After serving in the army during World War II,
Loewenstein designed homes, schools, churches, libraries,
synagogues, factories and office buildings in the city. The
Weaver building opened as the Greensboro Public Library in
1965.
Public tours of the law school and the exhibition are
scheduled for 10 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 10.
The exhibition at Elon is just one component of “Close
to Home: Edward Loewenstein and Modernism in
Greensboro,” at UNCG. Visit this Web site for
