Newport Through Its Architecture: A History of Styles from Postmedieval to Postmodern
"From Peter Harrison to Pietro Belluschi, Newport's architects and builders have left a remarkable legacy of great—and often groundbreaking—design. Happily, a strong local commitment to preservation (such as that demonstrated by Salve Regina University) has kept much of this legacy intact—and now Professor James Yarnall has produced a book that celebrates this historic city's treasures with exemplary scholarship and clarity. These pages should inspire everyone who cares about America's architectural heritage to schedule a trip to Newport right away."  —Richard Moe, President, National Trust for Historic Preservation“Makes a significant contribution, not only to the history of architecture in Newport, but also to the history of architecture in the United States . . . descriptive enough to satisfy the architectural scholar, while at the same time explanatory enough to allow the casual reader to appreciate the field.”—M. Hunter Ulf, Vice President, New England Chapter, American Institute of Architects
