becomes a mission. In this book, The Preservation Society of Newport
County shares its 75 years of experience in conserving three centuries
of the finest achievements in American architecture, decorative arts and
landscape design. This fully illustrated volume is an essential
resource for all heritage, architecture and preservation enthusiasts -
as well as anyone enchanted by the unique grandeur of Newport, Rhode
Island.
