How did an architectural style synonymous with medieval Europe become the style of choice in remote towns and outports of nineteenth-century Newfoundland and Labrador? From the city of St. John's to isolated, wind-swept colonies like Battle Harbour, Labrador (cover), the Gothic style left an indelible mark on this unique and dramatic landscape. Newfoundland Gothic explores how and why the style came to the colony, the many forms it took, and what it meant to the people who used it.
