Douglas Orr (1892-1966) was a prolific Connecticut architect based in New Haven. He designed such buildings as the Southern New England Telephone Company building and the Quinnipiack Club in New Haven, the Willoughby Wallce Memorial Library in Stony Creek and the Robert A. Taft Memorial in Washington, D.C. Orr designed his own house in the International style. Built in 1941, it is located at 19 Prospect Hill Road in the Stony Creek section of Branford.
Douglas Orr House (1941)
I am lucky to live in a Douglas Orr designed home near New Haven! We are the third owners since it was built in 1928 and thankfully the prior owners did not “mess” with the structure. As we make updates, we are doing our best to preserve the beautiful heritage of this home.
