Litchfield Villa, or Grace Hill, is an Italianate mansion built in 1854–1857 on a large private estate now located in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York City.
The villa was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, America's leading architect of the fashionable Italianate style, for railroad and real estate developer Edwin Clark Litchfield.
[3] The structure is considered to be Davis' greatest Italianate villa, and is currently the Brooklyn borough headquarters of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
On the first floor, there are porches on the north and south sides of the villa, covered by canopies that are supported by columns of the classical order.
The first floor also contains a circular library, a map room inside the western turret, and chambers for Edwin Clark Litchfield's wife Grace Hill Hubbard, who was reportedly partially disabled.
The original stucco was removed from the house, and many of the interior details, including the elaborately painted ceiling murals, were lost.
