Round Hill Historic District, Historic district at Round Hill Road and John Street intersection, Connecticut.
Round Hill Historic District is a rural village center with a church, cemetery, schoolhouse, and homes arranged around a country crossroads in northwestern Greenwich. The buildings are scattered in and around this intersection, forming the core of a historic settlement.
The district grew from agricultural beginnings around 1728 and expanded through the 1920s. During this period, many buildings were reshaped with Colonial Revival details while older Victorian features were removed.
The First Church became a non-denominational community gathering space after facing possible closure in the early 1900s. People in the area continue to use it as a place for local meetings and shared activities.
The cemetery next to the church functions as a columbarium in part and preserves marble headstones from the 1800s. Visitors can walk through the grounds to see the stone markers and get a sense of the site.
The Brown-Kenworthy House dates to around 1800 and includes a saltbox wing from 1728. This makes it the oldest residential structure in the area, combining features from two different periods.
