Richard Upjohn's impact on American architecture was profound and revolutionary. His Gothic-inspired churches and cottages, including Kingscote (1841), were among the first in America. In addition to highlighting Upjohn's work in Newport, Dr. Wilson will examine the architect's use of authentic Gothic patterns and exploration of other architectural styles. Join us for an expert look at the career of a master.
