Old Greenwich, Connecticut

Description

The work this historically significant structure at the Greenwich’s town park, Tod’s Point, was a highly rewarding experience. This phenomenal piece of early 20th century, shingle architecture was saved from demolition and now lives on as one of the Town’s most beloved buildings. Built in 1903-1904, it was the work of architect Katherine C. Budd, the first woman inducted into the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Known as “K.C.” Budd, she worked in the highly acclaimed firm of William Appleton Potter, who with his brother, Edward, designed the famed Mark Twain House in Hartford, CT, along with a number other significant buildings.
