From the page: "In the mid-1700s, the English author Sir Horace Walpole decided to redo his country home with details inspired by medieval churches and cathedrals. Walpole's house, located at Strawberry Hill near Twickenham, became a model for Gothic Revival architecture. "

From the page: "Oak Hill Cottage was purchased by the Historical Society in 1965. Included in the sale were the accumulated furniture and contents from the Victorian period of the 100+ years occupation by the Dr. Johannes Jones family.

It would be difficult to find a better documented house than Oak Hill, having been featured with interior and exterior photos in an 1896 county atlas and the focal point of Louis Bromfield's first novel, The Green Bay Tree. The question of saving the house had been on the minds of Mansfield preservationists for a long time, and its future uncertain, when purchase of the house initiated an 18 year struggle to fund and accomplish the restoration."

From the page: "Oak Hill Cottage, an old Victorian home, is well preserved and beautifully decorated, as if frozen in time.

The house, the oldest Gothic structure in the United States, looks as if the residents stepped out for a day and will return at any moment to resume life from the past. Visitors have the opportunity to see how families lived in the Victorian Era and a way of life that has been forgotten."
