Volunteers needed to spread the word about WNY's architectural heritage

If you love the prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright, the art deco motifs of City Hall, the grain elevators along the Buffalo River, gothic cottages, historic churches and Olmsted parks, you now have an opportunity to learn more about the region's great architectural heritage and to share that knowledge with others.

The Architectural Awareness Project for Buffalo (TAAP), a 16-year-old program sponsored by the UB School of Architecture and Planning, is seeking volunteers for docent training.

Participants will attend lectures, tours and workshops taught by UB architecture faculty, TAAP docents and experts from the architectural community. The course runs from September 1995 through the spring of 1996, Tuesdays from 2:30-5 p.m. in Hayes Hall on UB's South Campus.

Once trained, docents will present educational programs on the built environments of Buffalo and Western New York to school and community groups. Volunteers are expected to make a minimum two-year commitment.

To obtain applications for the TAAP docent program, call Margot More, 829-3543 or Annegret Richards, 829-3485, ext. 317.
