Winter Hill was built for the Reverend Walter Thompson, his wife and family. They moved into their Tudor Revival home in 1891. In 1939 the house became home for The Sisters of the Good Shepherd and in 1979 became the Nazareth Life Center for the next 28 years. Currently, completely renovated, it offers office space and meeting space to several cultural institutions.
