William Mason House

 

Nestled on the picturesque Thompson Hill in Connecticut, The William Mason House stands as a testament to 19th-century elegance and architectural grandeur. Built in 1845 by William H. Mason, a prominent mill owner and the wealthiest resident of Thompson at the time, this historic mansion is a rare gem, unmatched by many others in the state. The estate’s location on Thompson Hill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, adds to its allure and significance. After being abandoned for decades, this magnificent structure was privately acquired in 2019 and is currently undergoing a meticulous restoration to revive its former splendor.

The restoration of The William Mason House is a harmonious blend of historical authenticity and modern luxury. While the mansion pays homage to its rich past, it also embraces the comforts and conveniences of the 21st century, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience the charm of a bygone era with all the amenities of modern living. The house’s design and decor reflect a seamless integration of the old and the new, creating an inviting atmosphere that appeals to history enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike.

Set to open its doors in Autumn 2023, The William Mason House promises an unforgettable experience for its guests. Whether you’re fascinated by history, architecture, or simply looking for a serene getaway, this historic mansion offers an exquisite retreat. With its upcoming opening, The William Mason House is poised to become a premier destination in Connecticut, drawing visitors from near and far to experience the elegance and grandeur of this beautifully restored estate.
