Written with Bricks: A Guide to New Jersey's Pattern Brick Architecture In-Person
Moorestown resident Matthew Skic will speak on his latest project entitled "Written with Bricks: A Guide to New Jersey's Pattern Brick Architecture". As a native New Jerseyan (and resident of Moorestown since 2021), Matthew has long been fascinated by NJ's distinctive pattern brick structures from the 18th and early 19th Centuries. They are a truly special part of NJ's architectural heritage.
Matthew Skic grew up in Hopewell, New Jersey, where he developed a passion for early American history, specifically the American Revolution. At the age of 16, Matthew got his first job as a historical interpreter at Washington Crossing State Park. He went on to study history at American University and earned his master's degree from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture at the University of Delaware. In 2016, he joined the staff at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, where he now serves as Curator of Exhibitions. Matthew was also awarded a scholarship in 2022 to attend the Attingham Trust’s Summer School, an intensive program for the study of British country estates and their collections. Tonight, Matthew will publicly launch his latest project, "Written with Bricks: A Guide to New Jersey's Pattern Brick Architecture."
