Hill-Stead Museum
This new 7,000-square-foot Visitors Center at the Hill-Stead Museum adapts and preserves historic connected outbuildings which originally housed stables, carriages, automobiles, and farm equipment. Centerbrook preserved, rehabilitated, restored, reconstructed, and repaired historic elements in nearly every nook and cranny of the building.
Conceived by the pioneering early 20th century architect Theodate Pope Riddle, the 152-acre property houses her family’s furnishings and Impressionist art, including masterpieces by Monet, Degas, Picasso, and Whistler, as well as extensive pastures and gardens, partly designed by Beatrix Farrand.
