Stone, Carpenter & Sheldon

Stone, Carpenter & Sheldon was an American architectural firm based in Providence, Rhode Island. Established in 1906, it was the successor firm to Stone, Carpenter & Willson.

The firm was organized in 1906 as the partnership of Alfred Stone (1834-1908), Charles E. Carpenter (1845-1923), and Walter G. Sheldon (1855-1931). Sheldon, who had become a partner in the earlier firm in 1901, replaced Edmund R. Willson as the named third partner. Sheldon had been a significant designer within the firm, and took on those responsibilities. 1908 became an important year for the firm, as Stone died and Carpenter retired in the latter part of the year. Thus, Sheldon became the senior partner. Sheldon later promoted his son, Gilbert Sheldon, and William C. Mustard as partners.

In its early years, the firm retained some of the prestige of its predecessor. However, around the time of World War I the firm lost its prominence, and designed few significant buildings after about 1916. It was dissolved in the mid-1920s.
