Naulakha, National Historic Landmark in Dummerston, Vermont, US.
Naulakha is a Shingle style house in Dummerston, Vermont, built in 1893 as a private residence. The building has a long, low form with pitched roofs, small windows for privacy, and includes four bedrooms along with an original clay tennis court on the grounds.
The house was built in 1893 and served as the home of a celebrated author from 1893 until 1896. During those three years, important literary works were created in the residence before the occupant departed.
The name comes from a pavilion at Lahore Fort in Pakistan, reflecting Kipling's connection to his childhood in India. Visitors can sense this link to the Indian subcontinent through the building's name and certain design choices throughout the house.
The property can be explored by visitors and offers access to garden paths and the original tennis court. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to fully enjoy the pathways and outdoor areas.
The rooms contain original yellow-toned glass panels and display the desk where significant stories were created. This workspace offers insight into the writer's daily work during the residence period.
