Watch a video about Isaac Bell House

Isaac Bell House is one of the best surviving examples of shingle-style architecture in the country. The house was designed by the firm of McKim, Mead and White in 1883 for Isaac Bell, a wealthy cotton broker and investor. After passing through a succession of owners, the Isaac Bell House was purchased by the Preservation Society in 1996, and is today designated a National Historic Landmark.

The architects and designers of the period drew inspiration from a mix of international styles and contemporary interpretations of classical domestic themes. Isaac Bell House is a fully realized experiment that visually represents the search for an American style of architecture.
