When visiting the city of Providence, Rhode Island, you’ll be struck by the Fleur-de-Lys Studios on Thomas Street.
With its half-timbered facade and elaborately stuccoed yellow walls, the studios are hard to miss.
But if you’re a horror fan, this unusual building will have special significance.
In the classic tale ‘The Call of Cthulhu’, HP Lovecraft made Fleur-de-Lys the home of Henry Anthony Wilcox, a young artist and sculptor whose dreams are shaped by cosmic terrors.
In reality, Fleur-de-Lys is an important studio in the preservation and celebration of folk art in the United States.
