Dwyer Premises, Tilting

“1.3 The Dwyer Premises in Tilting, Fogo Island; photo by Robert Mellin, 2008. … In this book I address the influence of Smallwood's paternalistic regime on Newfoundland's architecture and cultural landscape, a perspective from the top down that takes the opposite approach of my book on the Newfoundland outport of Tilting on Fogo Island.”

  • AboutDwyer Premises, Tilting↗

    Mellin frames the entire monograph as the counterweight to his prior Tilting fieldwork, with the Dwyer Premises as the photographic anchor of Chapter 1. The book's perspective is explicitly 'top down' from Smallwood-era architecture, taking 'the opposite approach of my book on the Newfoundland outport of Tilting on Fogo Island.'
