1872 - North House (William Gammell Cottage).
Architect: Unknown
Located: Anandale Road Area
Demolished: 1948.

Built for William Gammell, a distinguished professor at Brown University in Providence, this large Italianate cottage with fanciful bracketed eaves was demolished for a contemporary house in 1948. Known as North Cottage in the Gammell family, the William Gammell House flanked that of Mrs. Thomas Shaw-Safe (n'e Harriet Ives Gammell) called Ocean Lawn by Peabody & Stearns (extant, 1889), architects, and that of Mr. R. S. Gammell. The latter Gammell cottage, South Cottage, or Southerly, was demolished in 1955 and its site incorporated into the former Shaw-Safe property by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey S. Firestone.

  • The house does not show on any Newport map before 1893. The photo shown is "Ocean Lawn" built in 1851 by Richard Upjohn--it is not North Cottage.
