Charles G. Loring House
Prides Crossing, Massachusetts

 “Emerson’s sensitivity and Roberts and Hoare’s craftsmanship are alike; absolute expressive of deep caring about every shape, every surface, inside and out. The Loring House might well be the best of all the surviving Shingle Style houses of the 1880’s.”

Charles G. Loring House

“The Shingle Style like many great styles of architecture, lived a surprisingly brief life. All the more reason to save and study this remaining masterpiece.”

Charles G. Loring House

“Because of the simplicity of its plan, the miracles of its detailing inside and out, and most of all its extraordinary sympathetic siting, the Loring House is a masterpiece.”
