Roseland Cottage

Visit this surprising Gothic Revival summer cottage, painted a vibrant pink and set amidst a carefully planned landscape. The interior of Roseland Cottage is equally colorful, and features elaborate wall coverings, heavily patterned carpets, and stained glass, much of which survives unchanged from the Victorian era. Built as a summer home, Roseland Cottage also includes a picturesque landscape with original boxwood-edged parterre gardens planted in the 1850s, an icehouse, aviary, carriage barn, and the nation’s oldest surviving indoor bowling alley.
