Colin M. Ingersoll House

The Colin M. Ingersoll House is a dramatic, colorful, and asymmetrical Chateauesque building that is currently used as law offices but was formerly a private residence. It has a number of bold features including a turret topped with a conical roof, a copper gabled dormer, and brightly colored brick walls, which all add to a thoroughly playful and vibrant aesthetic. It is one of the many grand homes that was built on Whitney Avenue around the end of the 19^thand beginning of the 20^thcentury for wealthy families, and has remained a stable presence as the area has become slightly more commercial and more heavily populated by apartment complexes and multi-family homes.
