Alice Trythall Washburn (July 15, 1870 – November 17, 1958) was an American self-taught architect who designed so many homes in New Haven County that she is considered the founder of a distinct typology: the "Washburn Colonial".[1][2] While she died relatively unknown, her work has been the subject of retrospectives and exhibits, beginning in 1990 at the Eli Whitney Museum in Hamden, Connecticut.[3][1][2] In 2003, the American Institute of Architects Connecticut began issuing an award in her honour; the Alice Washburn House Award acknowledges excellence in traditional house design.[4]
