No other town in the state contains such an impressive and cohesive ensemble of stylish summer houses, the major contributors to a district that is further enhanced by the quality of its well-integrated institutional architecture and the exceptional integrity of its historic setting."The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It includes 160 contributing buildings and two other sites, over a 380 acres (150 ha) area.The district has an irregular shape. It is about two miles long.Two private schools are in the district. The Rectory School was founded in 1925. Its main building is a former home, dating from 1792, of Col. Thomas Grosvenor (1744-1825), with a large addition & alterations by Thomas Skelton Harrison (1837-1919), designed by Guy King of Philadelphia. It includes other houses, including Brittain House c.1800, and Marion Harvey/Harrison Deal House, by Guy King of c.1900.Pomfret School was founded in 1894 on the estate of Charles Grosvenor. It now includes brick Georgian and Colonial Revival buildings built during the first decade of the 20th century, designed by New York architect Ernest Flagg. The Romanesque 1908 Clark Chapel of the school was also designed by him.Architect Howard Hoppin (1854-1940) designed several buildings in the district, including guest houses for George Lothrop Bradley (1848-1906) on his estate called Rathelin: Hope Cottage, Harry Cottage, Howard Cottage, Lothrop Cottage, and alterations to Stilleben and Darius Cottages.
