Raynham, Gothic revival mansion in East Shore, New Haven, United States.
The Raynham estate at 709 Townsend Avenue features pointed arches, detailed trim work, and expansive grounds covering 15 acres of maintained landscape.
Built in 1804 with Federal architectural style, the residence underwent major modifications in 1850 to incorporate Gothic Revival elements under Calvert Vaux principles.
The residence represents seven generations of Townshend family ownership, marking the evolution of architectural preferences among Connecticut's established families.
The property includes multiple structures such as a carriage house, caretaker residence, agricultural buildings, and a 1920s gazebo distributed across the grounds.
Raynham stands as New Haven's largest single residential landholding, with its original land grant dating back to the Tuttle family in 1640.
