Description
The Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum is a National Historic Landmark part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. The three families whose names are attached to it were all closely tied to the city's 19th-century dominance of the whaling industry.
See the three-by-five-bay two-story yellow building with a front porch and balustraded balcony on either end and several tall chimneys emerging from the roof. Inside, many of the original mahogany doors and their walnut veneers remain. There's also a circular driveway that leads up to the house and gives access to the property's gardens - including the boxwood rose parterre garden with tall calla lilies, boxwood specimen garden, and cutting garden.
