Fifty years ago, community leaders cut the ribbon on the "new" Lawson McGhee Library, providing a much-needed anchor to the Knox County Public Library system. The innovative building has echoes all over town. Bruce McCarty was a champion of modernist architecture, and he changed the city scape forever. From Clarence Brown Theatre and the Cumberland Avenue pedestrian bridge to TVA Towers and the City County Building, McCarty's work represents some of the most iconic places in Knoxville.

Join MHM architects Doug McCarty and Nathan Honeycutt for examination of the impact and evolution of Bruce McCarty's designs.
