Low House was a seaside cottage at 3 Low Lane in Bristol, Rhode Island. It was designed in 1886-87 by architect Charles McKim of the New York City firm, McKim, Mead & White. With its distinctive single {{Convert|140|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} gable it embodied many of the tenets of Shingle Style architecture — horizontality, simplified massing and geometry, minimal ornamentation, the blending of interior and exterior spaces. The architectural historian Vincent Scully saw it as "at once a climax and a kind of conclusion" for McKim, since its "prototypal form ... was almost immediately to be abandoned for the more conventionally conceived columns and pediments of McKim, Mead, and White's later buildings."[1] Just before it was demolished in 1962, the now iconic house was documented with measured drawings and photographs by the Historic American Buildings Survey.[2] Wrote architectural historian Leland Roth, "Although little known in its own time, the Low House has come to represent the high mark of the Shingle Style."[3] References1. ^{{Cite book |last=Scully |first=Vincent |origyear=1955|year=1971 |title=The Shingle Style and the Stick Style |url= |location=New Haven |publisher=Yale University Press |page=153 |isbn=9780300015195}} {{Coord|41|38|53|N|71|15|48|W|type:landmark_region:US|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/ri/ri0000/ri0006/supp/ri0006supp.pdf |title=Low, William G., House (supplemental materials) |date=May 1975 |website=Historic American Buildings Survey |publisher=Library of Congress |location=Washington, D.C.}} 3. ^{{Cite book |last=Roth |first=Leland M. |date=2001 |title=American Architecture: A History |url= |location=Boulder, Colo. |publisher=Westview Press |page=246 |isbn=9780813336626}} External links
