The Isaac Bell House, located at the corner of Perry Street and Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, is a masterwork of American Shingle Style architecture designed by the renowned firm McKim, Mead & White during the Gilded Age. Built when Newport was the premier summer retreat of America's wealthiest families, the house—also known as Edna Villa—stands as one of the country's finest examples of the shingle aesthetic. Designated both a National Historic Landmark and a listed place on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains a testament to the architectural ambitions of the era.
