Richard Upjohn
Richard Upjohn trained as a cabinet maker in his native
England before emigrating to the United States at age 26. He was an exponent
of the Gothic Revival style. Upjohn is best known for his churches, including
Trinity Church in New York City. His use of pointed gables and decorative
woodwork used on Kingscote in Newport, Rhodes Island was well-suited to
Victorian domestic tastes.
