This exhibit celebrates Howe, Manning & Almy, the first-known all-woman architecture firm in Boston, founded in 1900 by Lois Lilley Howe, an early MIT architecture student. Alongside partners Eleanor Manning and Mary Almy, the firm completed over 900 commissions, and the show highlights their trailblazing impact on the field. It’s a sharp look at how these women reshaped Boston’s built environment and the profession itself.
