Hayden Bennett and Marion Mahony

Bennett (1868-1953) was the
first woman graduate in architecture at MIT. She is perhaps best known for designing
the Woman’s Building at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Mahony Griffin (1871-1961 ) was one of the original members of the Prairie School. She also designed
