Life on the Riviera
 How did the French Riviera evolve from a collection of sleepy fishing villages to a gilded summer resort for the rich and famous? David Garrard Lowe, President of the Beaux Arts Alliance, will discuss the history of the "Cote d'Azur" during the annual Evening in Honor of John G. Winslow at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, August 6 at Rosecliff.

Outrageously Eclectic
Architect Robert H. Robertson designed hundreds of extraordinary buildings along the East coast, including Hammersmith Farm and three other buildings in Newport.  Praised for his highly personal, idiosyncratic and creative designs, he helped define most of the major American architectural types with his unique interpretation on the popular Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, Gothic Revival, Shingle and Adirondack styles. Join us at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, August 21 at Rosecliff for a lecture by architectural historian Dan Snydacker on this mostly forgotten but important American architect.
Learn more and register online for Outrageously Eclectic, or call (401) 847-1000 ext. 154.
