DESCRIPTION

Architecture, Landscape, and the Making of a Rhode Island Paradise
A highly visual and new study of the rustic and whimsical shingledhouses of Jamestown, Rhode Island from the colonial era to the development ofthe town as a picturesque resort set in a coastal landscape.
Jamestown, Rhode Island, set on the shimmering waters of Narragansett Bay, is marked by cliffs and fields looking out to the sea - a vision of paradise, a place of natural abundance and scenic beauty. For centuries, builders devised architecture that seamlessly rose from and merged back into stony coast and rolling meadows. This island is home to a timeless landscape of pastoral richness and picturesque views; its buildings a testament to those who sought their fortunes and fulfilled their fantasies, within sight of the mainland, but a world apart. In each case, there is a remarkable relationship between the island's topography and its architecture.

Through maps, paintings, poetry and prose, this book illustrates the vibrant heritage of Jamestown, its role as a place of refuge and retreat through the ages, a paradise shaped by the visions and labours of its inhabitants.
