Residence of Samuel Jerome

This 18th century home, built on Prospect Hill, was the residence of Samuel Jerome. He was a Revolutionary War veteran from Connecticut who moved his family to Stockbridge for new ventures. Over time, several of his descendants moved to New York City and even London. One of Samuel’s great-grandsons was none other than Sir Winston Churchill; his mother was Jennie Jerome who married a British aristocrat and was known as Lady Randolph Churchill.
