Richard Munday (c.1685-1739) was a prominent colonial American architect and builder in Newport, Rhode Island. Munday built several notable public buildings in Newport between 1720 and 1739 helping to modernize the city. Christopher Wren's church of St. James at Piccadilly in London, England, and Old North Church in Boston, are believed to have greatly influenced Munday's baroque style. Munday also built many Georgian houses in Newport and was a parishioner at Trinity Church. Few details about his life have survived. ==Works by Munday== *Old Colony House, 1739, a U.S. National Historic Landmark (NHL) *Sabbatarian Meeting House (home of the Newport Historical Society), 1729 () *Trinity Church, Newport, 1725, also an NHL *Daniel Ayrault house, Newport, 1739-40 (built with Benjamin Wyatt) *Malbone Hall, 1739-40 (resembled Colony House, destroyed in 1764 fire) *Malbone town house, 1729 (demolished) *Jahleel Brent House, (possible contributor) *John Gidley House, (possible contributor) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Munday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
