The Tom Thumb House is a historic summer cottage on Windrow Road in Norfolk, Connecticut.
Built in 1929, it is an unusual medieval-styled construction designed by New York architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor.
The pyramidal roofs of each section, framed with hand-hewn timbers recycled from old barns, are covered in thick slate.
A number of them share the medieval features used in this building: the rough rustic stone and wood finishes, and heavy slate roof.
[2][3] This house was referred to by the family as the "Teahouse"; its "Tom Thumb" name was applied in the American Architect and Building News article.
