Redtop, a shingle-style house at 90 Somerset Street in Belmont, Massachusetts, was designed in 1877 by William Rutherford Mead of the firm McKim, Mead & Bigelow for his brother-in-law, the writer and literary critic William Dean Howells. Combining elements of Queen Anne, Shingle, and Colonial Revival architecture, the residence served as Howells' home from its construction through 1882. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971 in recognition of its association with Howells, a leading proponent of literary realism in nineteenth-century America.
