Charles Atwater House (Atwater–Ciampolini House)

Constructed in 1890, and designed by New York firm Babb, Cook and Willard, the Charles Atwater House is a prime example of Shingle-style building in New Haven. The building is discussed in Vincent J. Scully Jr’s The Shingle Style: Architectural Theory and Design from Richardson to the Origins of Wright (1955), and is compared to McKim, Mead, and White’s Low House in Rhode Island.

The Charles Atwater House has a gable roof, horizontal band of windows and a shingled exterior. The building was first owned by Charles Atwater, who placed the deed under his wife Helen G. Atwater. It is currently converted into an office space for Balzano & Tropiano, P.C.
