Hill-Stead Museum was established in 1946 by the will of Theodate Pope Riddle (1867-1946). It encompasses a 152-acre country estate, which Theodate, Connecticut’s sixth registered female architect and early proponent of historic preservation, designed in the New England farmstead idiom. She designed the Colonial Revival house for her parents, Ada and Alfred Atmore Pope, using drawings prepared by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White. She completed the 33,000-square-foot house in 1901. The estate comprises a Cotswald-like grouping and a Warren Manning-inspired landscape. A one-acre, c. 1920 Beatrix Farrand-designed Sunken Garden is the centerpiece of the property.
