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 (née 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.

  • "Southside" was built in 1881-1884 for William Gammell, Sr. by architects McKim, Mead & White. The above left photo is actually a photo of "Ocean Lawn", the cottage to the north, as it was remodeled by Peabody & Stearns in 1888.
