Fleur-de-lys Studio - Providence

The Fleur-de-lys Studio is located on Thomas Street in Providence, Rhode Island.  The building was designed by architect Edmund R. Wilson and artist Sydney Richmond Burleigh and completed in 1886.  The Arts and Crafts style studio was built as a workspace for members of the Providence Arts Club.  George William Whitaker, one of the founders of the Providence Art Club, the Providence Water Color Club and the Rhode Island School of Design, and a well known landscape painter, shared a studion with Burleigh at the Fleur-de-lys.  The Providence Art Club inherited the building from Burleigh's widow in 1939, and it is still used as an art studio.  In popular culture the studio was the home of Henry Anthony Wilcox in H.P. Lovecraft's 1926 short story "The Call of Cthulhu."  The studio was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992.
