Wildcliff, Gothic Revival historic house in New Rochelle, United States.
The mansion featured rubblestone walls of various colors, with steep-roofed gables and ornate chimneys, creating a substantial architectural presence at 44 Wildcliff Road.
Architect Alexander Jackson Davis designed this twenty-room cottage-villa in 1852 for Cyrus Lawton during New Rochelle's transition from rural community to residential suburb.
The property functioned as the Wildcliff Museum from 1971 to 1978, offering nature exhibits and educational programs to the local community.
The Julius Prince family transferred the property to New Rochelle in 1940, after which it served multiple functions including city offices and theater productions.
A fire in November 2018 destroyed the structure completely, resulting in the arrest of four middle school students connected to the incident.
