Roseland Cottage in Woodstock CT | Relax & Wander Colorful Parterre Garden & Gothic Revival Estate

Enjoy our relaxing tour of Roseland Cottage in Woodstock CT, built in 1846 in the Gothic Revival style as the summer home of Henry Chandler Bowen and family. The entire complex, with a boxwood parterre garden, an ice house, garden house, carriage barn, and the nation's oldest surviving indoor bowling alley, reflects the principles of writer and designer Andrew Jackson Downing, whose philosophy combined practicality and the picturesque.
Situated on Woodstock Hill Common, Rosewood contains original Gothic furniture and embossed Lincrusta Walton wall decoration. The house is known locally as the Pink House because of its coral pink exterior. Roseland's parterre garden contains twenty-one flowerbeds with more than 4,000 annuals bordered in boxwood, in their original 1850 pattern, and now form part of @ConnecticutHistoricGardens.
Also known as Henry C. Bowen House or Bowen Cottage, Roseland was added to the @nationalregisternps in 1977, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1992. It is described as one of the best-preserved and best-documented Gothic summer houses in the nation, with virtually intact interior decorations. @CT_history
