Moss Hill, Historic summer estate on Litchfield Road in Norfolk, US
Moss Hill is a stone and stucco house with half-timbered gables in the Tudor Revival style, rising across two and a half stories. The building features multiple gabled sections and a wing extending eastward from the main structure.
Built in 1903, this house was the first of over thirty works by New York architect Alfredo Taylor in this Connecticut summer community. Its construction marked the beginning of Taylor's extensive involvement with projects in this resort area.
The property exemplifies early 20th-century summer estate design with its large-scale stonework, wooden balconies, and Beaux Arts interior features.
The property sits on about 5 acres of wooded land with different sections to explore. Access and views are possible from the outside, though exact opening details depend on current conditions.
The stone used in construction came from quarries located directly on the property itself, creating a natural bond between the building and its surroundings. This local source of materials ties the house to the land it sits on.
