for example, look up "Public architecture -- New England" or  "Architecture -- Massachusetts -- Boston"

or "Boston (Mass.) -- Buildings, structures, etc."

or even "Romanesque revival (Architecture) " to get the broadest possible view of the material.

Other subject headings to consider "Arts and society " or "Wooden-frame houses" or individual architects "Richardson, H. H. (Henry Hobson), 1838-1886." or buildings "Trinity Church (Boston, Mass.)"

This may seem obvious, but do not forget to use the bibliographies found in your text books and the books on reserve for your course.
