In this year's John G. Winslow Lecture, entitled “An American Renaissance: Architecture’s Impact in the Gilded Age,” Phillip James Dodd discussed five of the homes featured in his latest book, "An American Renaissance: Beaux-Arts Architecture in New York City," providing a glimpse inside buildings not otherwise viewable to the public. Dodd also told the stories of the patrons and architects who designed these spectacular homes; the symbiotic relationship of Newport and New York in high society; and collectively their influences on the television adaptation of Julian Fellowes’ “The Gilded Age” on HBO. This lecture took place in the Great Hall of The Breakers.
