Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum Torrington (Year Built: 1897)
The Fyler-Hotchkiss Estate, also known as the Torrington Historical Society or the Hotchkiss-Fyler House Museum is a property with two houses and a carriage house in Torrington, Connecticut (192 Main Street).
Perhaps most impressive to visitors is the quantity and quality of the millwork that can be seen throughout this residence. Built by the Hotchkiss Brothers Company (the family business), the house was obviously a showpiece for the firm. Mahogany, birds-eye maple, quarter-sawn oak and red birch are just a few of the types of wood used in the house. Paneled walls and elaborate hand carved details can be seen in abundance, especially in the first floor of the mansion. The interior decoration, together with the family furnishings and collections of porcelain, paintings and art glass, are sure to provide a visual delight for the visitor.
Location: 192 Main Street, Torrington, CT
Hours: 12-4pm Tue-Sat, Apr 15 - Oct 31
