In 1904 Charles and Alice Stephens, both successful artists, moved to Rose Valley.  Used to living in the intimacy of the city, the move to the wilds of suburban Philadelphia was a courageous step to “give [their] son the chance for an out-of-door life near his school”.  Their presence in and philosophical recognition of this Arts & Crafts community lent a certain eminence to the experiment, so others might be encouraged to become neighbors.  So, who were the Stephens family and what is their legacy?

This lecture will take you down one of the historical paths of Rose Valley.  Carl Finkbeiner, photographer, RVMHS and (past) SRV board member will present a talk about The School in Rose Valley.  The stories that the buildings of The School in Rose Valley (SRV) have to tell about the institution and what it shares with its enveloping Rose Valley community are more remarkable than most people know.  If you only know SRV or if you only know Rose Valley, or maybe even if you think you know both, you will find that the buildings’ stories have a lot to teach us about hidden histories and connections that will only deepen your appreciation of the two.
