Description and history
Windmill Hill is located in a rural setting of southeastern Dublin, on the south side of Windmill Hill Road. It sits on about 4 acres (1.6 ha) of land, which slope steeply away from the road to the southeast, providing views of Mount Monadnock and the hills of Peterborough. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure built in a U shape with gabled roofs and shingled exterior. A rubblestone terrace wall provides a level grassy area behind the house. Its windows are six-over-six sash throughout, and there are gabled dormers piercing the roof of the central section.[2]
The house was designed by Boston architect Thomas Byrd Epps, and built in 1934 for Priscilla Prince Whitney. Originally built as a summer residence, it has been weatherized for year-round occupation. At the time of its National Register listing in 1983, it was still owned by the Whitney family.[2]
