Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day House, also known as Sunnyhill Home, is a historical building significant for its association with geologist Fisk Holbrook Day.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.[2][3]
Day collaborated with Thomas Greene, whose former home, the Thomas A. Green Memorial Museum and Collection, is now a museum designated a NHL.[3]
The pianist Liberace once sought to purchase this home as the location for his museum in 1978. [4]
