Raventhorp is a large 2-1/2 story Shingle style ( an American architectural style made popular by the rise of the New England school of architecture) structure; its porch has a shallow hip roof supported by clusters.
Raventhorp is a historic summerhouse in Southwest Harbor, Maine. It is prominently situated at the northern tip of Greening Island, which is set at the mouth of Somes Sound, the inlet dividing Mount Desert Island, between the villages of Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The Shingle style house is an important surviving example of this collaboration, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is a large 2-1/2 story Shingle style structure, with a wraparound porch that has sunrooms enclosed in glass at its eastern and western ends. The porch has a shallow hip roof supported by clusters (twos and threes) of square columns. The Shingle style is an American architectural style made popular by the rise of the New England school of architecture, which eschewed the highly ornamented patterns of the Eastlake style in Queen Anne architecture. In the Shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in Colonial American architecture which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial.
