About Victoria Mansion

Victoria Mansion is an Italianate brownstone villa completed in 1860 for hotelier Ruggles Sylvester Morse and designed by New Haven architect Henry Austin. Its interiors are the earliest known and only intact commission of designer Gustave Herter, and about 97 percent of the original contents survive. Inside you will find carved marble fireplaces, a flying staircase and a Turkish smoking room, and designers decorate the rooms for a holiday season from late November into early January.
