The Jenkins Bungalow, otherwise known as Hillside, was designed by renowned Norfolk architect Alfredo Taylor in 1907. Taylor was educated at St. Paul's, Harvard, Columbia and then L'ecole des Beaux Arts. Norfolk was fortunate to have an architect of his standing settle and practice in town. Hillside is a classic example of Taylor's style with its rugged stucco and stone walls, dark wooden balconies, dramatic fireplaces and open living areas which lead to expansive terraces. The house is buttressed by large granite foundation walls and sited to take advantage of The dramatic mountain views. The great hall features 2 interior balconies and an enormous fireplace which rises 20 feet to an exposed timber ceiling. The current owner has added on an impressive solarium with a glass ceiling and large Jacuzzi. The property abuts 600 acres of Yale forestry trust and is on the Register of National Historic Places.
