Description and history
It was built in 1876 for William C. Davol Jr., treasurer of the Davol Mills. The house was designed by Boston architects Hartwell & Swasey, whose works included numerous other public buildings and private homes in Fall River during this period.
The house has the characteristics of asymmetrical massing and irregular silhouette of Stick/Eastlake architecture and retains its peaked entrance porch, original carved double-leaved entrance doors, stained glass window, slate roof and copper coping and finials. The interior is richly embellished with Minton tiles and Eastlakian trim and sports an original water-power elevator.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is also located within the Lower Highlands Historic District.
