Samuel Wadsworth Russell House
Samuel Wadsworth Russell House, Greek Revival mansion in Middletown, United States.
The Samuel Wadsworth Russell House features six full-height Corinthian columns supporting a heavy entablature and pediment, with recessed panels between windows on the front wall.
Built in 1828 by architect Ithiel Town, the mansion belonged to Samuel Russell, who established Russell & Company, a major firm in the China trade during the 19th century.
The house served as an example for Greek Revival architecture in America, incorporating classical elements such as symmetrical shapes and formal decorative frames around entrances.
Located at 350 High Street in Middletown, Connecticut, the property now belongs to Wesleyan University and houses the Philosophy department while hosting special events.
The mansion's Corinthian columns originated from the New Haven Eagle Bank and were transported by oxcart to the construction site.
