Richard Upjohn, Richard Michell Upjohn, and the Gothic revival in America

Published in 1984 by Vance Bibliographies, this work serves as an architectural bibliography focusing on the contributions of Richard Upjohn and his son, Richard Michell Upjohn, to the Gothic Revival movement in the United States. During the 1980s, Vance Bibliographies produced a series of specialized architectural and planning bibliographies intended to centralize research resources for scholars and design professionals, providing essential access to primary documentation and critical secondary literature on significant figures in American architectural history.

Lamia Doumato, a noted architectural librarian and scholar, curated this volume to synthesize the scattered resources regarding the Upjohns, who were pivotal in popularizing the Gothic Revival style. The compilation was designed to assist researchers in tracing the evolution of ecclesiastical and secular Gothic architecture during the nineteenth century. As a reference tool within the broader context of American architectural historiography, the work was received as a practical contribution to academic libraries and research collections seeking to document the legacy of the prominent firm known for Trinity Church in New York City.
