Stone, Carpenter & Sheldon was an American architectural firm based in Providence, Rhode Island. Established in 1906 and dissolved in 1926, it was the successor firm to Stone, Carpenter & Willson.
The firm of Stone, Carpenter & Sheldon was organized in 1906 as the partnership of architects Alfred Stone (1834-1908), Charles E. Carpenter (1845-1923), and Walter G. Sheldon (1855-1931). Sheldon, who had become a partner in the earlier firm in 1901, replaced Edmund R. Willson as the named third partner. [1] Sheldon had been a significant designer within the firm, and took on those responsibilities. In 1908 Stone died, and Carpenter retired, leaving Sheldon as the only principal in the firm. [2] [3] By 1919 Sheldon was joined in partnership by his son, Gilbert Sheldon, and William C. Mustard. [4] Due to declining health Sheldon retired in 1926, and the firm was dissolved. [5]
In its early years, the firm retained some of the prestige of its predecessor, though this was mostly lost by the time of World War I. Their practice was mostly domestic, and they were responsible for alterations of several works by their predecessor firms. Many of their works, in Providence, Pawtucket and elsewhere, contribute to historic districts that have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
