Tarrywile Mansion
The sprawling "big house" was designed and built in 1896, by New York City architectural firm of Child and DeGoll,
 for Dr. William C. Wile, Danbury's first medical examiner and the principal benefactor of Danbury Hospital.
 Shingle style, 23-room Victorian-era American home with its hip-on-gable roof with multiple dormers, large tapering chimney stacks, semi-circular veranda with Doric columns, and porte-cochere.

 Accepted and entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Situated atop a ridge known once as "Cedar Grove," on Southern Boulevard in Danbury, Connecticut.

Wile's sold the Mansion in 1910 to Charles Darling Parks, who, as President of American Hatters and Furriers Co. Inc., the nation's leading supplier of furs and hatting, was one of Danbury's great entrepreneurial successes
