Henry Whipple House

The Henry Whipple House was built in 1904 for Mr. Henry Chandler Whipple, President of Dodge Davis Woolen Mills and a well respected businessman in Bristol during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today's Whipple House is one of but a few New England Queen Anne-style homes that retains its original structure from a century ago. The house is typical of the Victorian era in its architecture, oak woodwork, hardwood floors, chandeliers, bronze fireplaces and stained glass. It is the hope of the Whipple House's owners that the charm and hospitality of this era are reflected in your stay.
