Wooden House near the Water (perhaps an early idea for Cliffs, Manchester, Massachusetts)

Arthur Little American

Not on view

Born and trained Boston, Little's work is associated with the Colonial Revival style. His first house, Cliffs is set on Smith's Point in Manchester, Massachusetts and contains features that characterized his style for the next decade. Walter Knight Sturges describes the building as a "simple rectangular mass crowned by a hip roof..[a] three-bay front...[and] dormer windows with railings spanning the spaces between." Little was just twenty-seven in 1879.
