This elegant two-story brick Georgian Revival house was designed by R. Clipston Sturgis and built in 1922 for Harold Anthony, son of David M. Anthony, on land subdivided from a larger property purchased by the elder Anthony in 1883. It is rare in Swansea both as a brick house, and as one designed by a major architect. Unlike his father's house, which was intended as a summer property, Harold's was designed for year-round occupation, and started a trend of winterization of summer houses on Gardner's Neck. [2]
