16 May 2007

According to Rhode Island Architecture (1939, new edition 1968) by Henry-Russell Hitchcock, the Gloria Dei Church was designed by Martin Hedmark and built in 1928. Its style, which Hitchcock rather patronizingly called "half-modern", is a piquant blend of classical and folk motifs favored by Scandinavian architects in the earlier years of the 20th century.
