Herbert C. Wise, the architect who designed these twin cottages at the edge of Long Island Sound, was a multi-talented individual. By the time of his death in 1945, he had specialized in designing colleges, including Wellesley College, Princeton University, and the University of Colorado, while at the firm of Day & Klauder in Philadelphia. Wise also had another major claim to fame. He was the founding editor of "House and Garden" magazine in 1901. In 1905, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts in order to edit and publish yet another architectural magazine, "Indoors and Out." From 1908 until 1916, he had his own architectural design firm, then went back to work for the Day and Klauder firm. In 1917, he designed the first of these three story homes with its carriage house and the plan was then flipped over to create the second one as a mirror image. This compound has been in the same family for 85 years. They purchased the first of the twins in 1930 and some years later bought the second one. In 1957, the home next door, a tennis court and another lot next to it became available and was added to the original property. Now with 21 bedrooms and additional space in the two carriage houses for guest spill over or staff, the compound is perfect for multiple generations and extended family and friends to enjoy summers by the water. The twin houses are curved to accommodate water views from practically every room. For more information.
