Résumé:

"Newport, Rhode Island, at its peak in the Gilded Age, was a nexus of fashion, opulence, and revelry - "The Queen of Resorts." Here, America's plutocracy commissioned the country's most accomplished architects to boldly display their affluence and sophistication by building summer "cottages" of fabulous magnitude." "In this volume, abundant archival and new photographs and accompanying floor plans show off 35 featured houses, and a selected catalog illustrates 39 additional residences covering the gamut of revival styles from Italian Renaissance and Colonial Revival to French Neoclassic and English Manor. These centered on the brilliant designs of Richard Morris Hunt; Thomas Hastings; John Russell Pope; Horace Trumbauer; Ogden Codman Jr.; Charles Adams Platt; Warren & Wetmore; Delano & Aldrich; Peabody & Stearns; and McKim, Mead & White." "With Newport Villas: The Revival Styles, 1885-1935 in hand, admirers of great residential architecture can tour its famed summer cottages from the comfort of their armchairs and marvel at the life that was lived behind those elegant wrought-iron gates."--Jacket.
