This subseries documents "The Gothic Revival Style in America, 1830-1870" (April 1-June 6, 1976), the first museum exhibition to place individual focus on this major nineteenth-century revival style. Over six years in preparation, the exhibition provided a retrospective view of Gothic Revival furniture, glasswork, ceramic, textiles and wallpaper, paintings, and house designs.

In addition, there are drafts, layout pages, and galley proofs for the catalogue; curatorial research and lecture notes; bibliography material; lists of known Gothic revival works in the United States; installation plotplans; insurance and shipping documents; and object files containing extensive information about the pieces exhibited.
