Masterfully preserved, this stately home, “Wee Hoose”
was built in 1925 for Henry Ivison Parsons and his
wife, Harriet. The name was taken from a popular
Scottish ballad of the time. The interior spaces
equal the exterior charm and reveal an
uncompromising lifestyle, |

Near the heart of Stockbridge, just a short walk to The
Norman Rockwell Museum and minutes into the Village. The
area is a national scenic and cultural treasure, with
Tanglewood, the summer home of The Boston Symphony
Orchestra, The Berkshire Theatre Festival, Shakespeare and
Company and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival all nearby. “Wee
Hoose” is a gracious and welcoming showplace that was built
to last forever while it evokes a bygone era.
