- Description:
- "Overall, the Bell house represents the creative interplay of the talents of the three partners in the early 1880s. None appears to have dominated the commission. The elusive historical features of the design, while seen in a positive light many years later, proved troublesome at the same time, for Americans of the 1880s wanted a specificity of association not present in a modernized Colonial style."
