A scarce, well-researched and thoroughly illustrated catalog that was published in conjunction with Rhode Island College's Victoriana Festival to introduce attendees and Rhode Island residents to the state's architectural heritage. This informative book surveys Rhode Island's Victorian buildings, which are often overshadowed by the state's better-known Colonial and Federal buildings. Among the state's architectural treasures are buildings designed by Davis, Vaux, Warren, Hunt, Richardson, McKim, Mead and White, and others. Includes numerous b/w photos of houses and public buildings, and brief descriptions of the buildings pictured.
