Rye House, National Register historic estate in Litchfield, United States
Rye House features stone construction with rustic corner quoining and extends across 18 rooms within its two-and-a-half-story structure, totaling 10,127 square feet.
Built in 1910 for Isabella Douglass Curtis, a New York City banker's widow, the estate was designed by architect Wilson Eyre and received recognition in American Architect magazine.
The Tudor Revival architecture of Rye House reflects the early 20th-century trend of wealthy New Yorkers establishing country estates in Connecticut's rural areas.
Located at 122-132 Old Mount Tom Road, the 52-acre property includes a gardener's cottage, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and tennis courts for recreational activities.
Television journalist Anderson Cooper acquired this historic property in 2014, adding to its legacy of notable owners throughout its century-long existence.
