Architect Charles Erwin King, FAIA, a 1946 graduate of the University of Illinois, was one of the most prolific of mid-century modern architects practicing in metropolitan St. Louis. In the wake of his 40+ year career, King’s works of Mid-Century modern design now number over seventy custom residences in existence in Southern Illinois, particularly in Belleville. Our meeting will consist of a lecture by Belleville Historical Society docents, and a tour of the 1952 Blazier House / Museum including artifacts of King’s works.  Afterwards, all are encouraged to extend our visit to the Metro East by stopping by the 22^nd annual Art on the Square in downtown Belleville.
