Description

"The Atheneum, located near the banks of the Wabash River at the edge of New Harmony, is the starting point for the tour of the historic town, and is intended to serve as a center for visitor orientation and cultural community events. Its architecture is conceived in terms of the linked ideas of architectural promenade and historical journey of one of America's most significant utopian communities. The ideal vision of the relationship between habitation and social life exists in the restored architecture of New Harmony." --http://www.richardmeier.com/
