Newport Through Its Architecture

"A remarkable coincidence of unplanned historical events has preserved the architectural heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, in a way that is rare among American cities. Newport has the largest number of pre-Revolutionary War buildings in North America, with some 800 on the Point and the Historic Hill. In the nineteenth century, Newport was home to many of America's most prominent families and patrons of innovative architecture. From Greek Revival to Gothic, Italianate, and French Second Empire, Newport exemplifies the greatness of mid-nineteenth-century American architecture." "With hundreds of full color photographs, architectural drawings, and illustrations, this is the perfect introduction for the visitor or student seeking to appreciate Newport's rich architectural heritage in the context of its historical development."--Jacket.
