This Italianate Villa style mansion on Hillhouse Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut, was built in 1859 for Pelatiah Webster Perit (1785-1864), a successful New York City shipping merchant and president of the New York Chamber of Commerce. Perit split his time between New York and New Haven and would hire architect, Sidney Mason Stone, to design this home on Hillhouse Avenue in New Haven. The brownstone residence is notable for its elaborate scroll brackets supporting the window pediments and front entry portico with arched doorway with rope moldings. The mansion was occupied by Perit for just four years until his death in 1864, and it was later owned by Henry Lucius Hotchkiss, a businessman. Like nearly all buildings on Hillhouse Avenue, the building was acquired by Yale University and is now known as Horchow Hall, and is part of the Yale School of Management.
