Tranquility Farm, Historic summer estate in Middlebury, United States.
The Tranquility Farm estate spans 300 acres on the east side of Lake Quassapaug, featuring broad meadows, stone walls, and woodland areas.
Industrialist John H. Whittemore commissioned the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White to design this Colonial Revival and Shingle style estate in 1895.
The estate represents the architectural preferences of wealthy industrialists during the late 19th century, combining residential comfort with agricultural functionality.
Multiple clusters of buildings populate the landscape, with the main residential structure positioned near the junction of Tranquility and Whittemore Roads.
The estate includes a 40-foot high concrete stave silo with a mansard roof and twin cupolas topped with hipped pagoda roofs.
