The title I've worked with is "The Modernist Riverside Architecture of Clinton Marr."
"Clinton Marr was one of Riverside's most renowned architects of the post-war boom. Known for what is now termed "Mid-Century Modern" architecture, Marr's creations spanned the gamut of buildings. Scott Watson, the City of Riverside's Historic Preservation Officer, will discuss the life and work of Clinton Marr and his impact on Riverside."
