AUBURN — Mark Lee, an associate and architectural designer with the Harriman architectural firm, will speak at the Androscoggin Historical Society meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22, in the society’s headquarters, on the third floor of the County Courthouse at the corner of Court and Turner streets. The public is invited to attend without charge. An elevator is available.

Lee will continue a presentation he made to the society at a meeting last year, outlining a history of the firm’s regional work and comparing it to historic trends in architecture. The Harriman firm, which was established in 1870, designed numerous local projects including the Dingley School and the Kora Temple Shrine in Lewiston, and the Washburn and Chamberlain Schools in Auburn.

Future meetings of the Society will include:

April 26: Historian Doug Hodgkin will moderate a panel of local genealogy enthusiasts who will discuss topics such as setting goals, tracing a family tree, using Internet and AHS resources, and choosing among computer programs.

May 24: Patricia Hughes, author of “Maine’s Waterfalls: A Comprehensive Guide,” will describe how the Great Falls of Lewiston and other area waterfalls have shaped Maine’s history since prehistoric times. This will be the annual meeting and will include a dinner.
