Plymouth in the Gilded Age: Great Estates of the late 19th and Early 20th Centuries

January 8, 2024 2pm to 4pm

Bill Fornaciari, is an Architect and Owner of bf Architect. Bill, a lifelong resident of Plymouth, graduated from Roger Williams University with a degree in Architecture and Historic Preservation.

He first presented this program at Pilgrim Hall Museum evening lecture series. With permission from Dr. Donna Curtain, Executive Director, he will be using materials from that program. Womanade is excited to have Bill describe how his love for these great estates of Plymouth began in his early years as an architect.

While many Industrialists of the day were building their grand mansions in Newport and New York, some found places to establish their magnificent estates in Plymouth. Bill will take us back in time through historical images and hidden remnants to learn about and appreciate the lost architectural masterpieces that are now the vanished estates of the Gilded Age.

Getting information about many of these old estates in Plymouth was difficult, even with the help of the Internet. Bill encourages us all to do our part to preserve Plymouth’s rich history “because once its gone, its gone forever.”
