Built around 1905 in Sherborn, Massachusetts, the Charles D. Lewis House exemplifies an idiosyncratic blend of Shingle style informality and Colonial Revival formality. This two-story wood-frame structure, raised on a brick and rubblestone foundation, adopts an unusual V-shaped plan that opens northward, presenting a south-facing main entrance with porches while concealing a circular driveway and port-cochere entry on the angled north facades, the latter supported by Tuscan columns. Commissioned by Charles D. Lewis, a Boston businessman whose family controlled Lewis Wharf, the house originally functioned as both a gentleman's farm and one of Sherborn's earliest summer residences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
