Shaw Mansion, Historical mansion in New London, United States.
The Shaw Mansion features granite construction across three stories, with six bays and a single-story porch extending across its front facade.
Built in 1756 for Nathaniel Shaw Sr., the mansion served as Connecticut's naval office headquarters during the American Revolutionary War period.
The central hall interior displays refined craftsmanship through its two-stage staircase with mahogany banister and detailed balustrade construction.
