The Gould House is a historic house on Golf Drive in Norfolk, Connecticut. It was built in 1915 to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, a prominent New York City architect who summered in Norfolk. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its association with the architect.^[1]

Description and history[edit]

The Gould House stands in a rural residential area southwest of Norfolk's village center, on the east side of Golf Drive just north of the Norfolk Country Club. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, set on a sloping lot. The house's most distinguishing feature is its unusual roof configuration. It is basically a broad gabled roof, which extends down to the first floor on the left side, and then wraps across the front between the first and second levels. Above this is a hip-roofed projection, giving that portion the appearance of a gable-on-hip configuration. A projecting hip-roofed section projects to the left further back, giving the overall house massing an L shape. The ground floor is finished in broad clapboards, while the upper levels are shingled. Fieldstone posts provide some visual differentiation on the first floor.^[2]

The house was built in 1915 to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, a prominent New York architect in the firm of Taylor and Levi.^[2] Taylor spent his summers in Norfolk, and designed more than thirty buildings and structures in and around the community, some for quite high-profile client.^[3]
