William Watts Sherman House, 2 Shepard Avenue, Newport, Newport County, RI
Summary
Significance: Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, with interiors by Stanford White, the William Watts Sherman House, erected in 1875-1876, is the prototype of the shingled Tudor Manor House in America. In his successful design of the Sherman House, which is generally considered to be one of his masterpieces of domestic architecture, Richardson forcefully brought the Queen Anne architectural mode to the attention of American architects.
