Cottage for Samuel S. Fels
Seal Harbor, ME, 1922
Pencil on tracing paper
The Gerrish Collection, Northeast Harbor Library
These studies of this large cottage exhibit his facility with the Shingle Style. This late commission for Savage (1922), exhibits all the typical Shingle Style elements manipulated to produce a very pleasing composition. The west facade is particularly pleasing with its rounded masonry terrace overlooking Seal Harbor.
