Charles R. Crane Estate
Woods Hole, Massachusetts
 Charles R. Crane 1858-1939 |
From 1910 through 1913, the firm provided architectural services for the estate
known as "Juniper Point" owned by Charles R. Crane
(1858-1939)
at Woods Hole,
Massachusetts. Beginning with modest interior alterations of the existing
main house, a Queen Anne dwelling which dated from the 1880s, the firm provided
plans for structures ranging from small outbuildings and residential cottages to
the large and fully equipped "bungalow" for Josephine Crane Bradley. The
Library, a jewel-like study hidden above the boathouse, contains superb interior
features, such as board-and-batten cypress paneling, electroliers (probably
manufactured by Robert Jarvie) and leaded glass panels. Much of the less
significant work, like the ice house or greenhouse, has decayed or been wholly
lost. Some recent restoration work discovered light fixtures discarded
into the mud of a basement.
