Pink House, American Foursquare residence in Newbury, United States
The Pink House is an American Foursquare residence featuring a distinctive rose-colored exterior and a windowed cupola rising from its roofline. Located at 60 Plum Island Turnpike, this two-story building offers approximately 2,100 square feet of living space.
The house was built in 1925 by Gertrude Cutter for her son Henry and his wife Ruth Morin Cutter as their family home. In 2011, the property became integrated into the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, marking a significant shift in its purpose.
The residence draws photographers and artists who gather to document its distinctive rose-colored form against the coastal marsh setting. Visitors use this location as a place of creative inspiration throughout the changing seasons.
The residence sits within a protected wildlife refuge and can be viewed from the outside, with binoculars useful for getting closer details. Best access is from the wildlife refuge parking area, and the surrounding grounds are easily explored on foot.
The distinctive cupola serves as a natural perch for migrating birds during their seasonal journeys along the coast. Eagles, hawks, and snowy owls use this elevated vantage point as a resting spot during their demanding travels.
