Clouds Hill is a historic house museum located at 4157 Post Road in Warwick, Rhode Island. Its stand on the estate formerly known as Cedar Hill, a country estate built 1871-77 as a wedding present for Elizabeth Ives Slater Reed by her father, William S. Slater. The main mansion, designed by noted Providence architect William R. Walker, is a large Gothic Revival structure and one of his few surviving large-scale residential designs. The Slaters and Reeds, prominent industrial textile magnates in Rhode Island, adorned the property with high quality Victorian-era workmanship, including a distinctive Egyptian-themed room. The estate, occupied by four generations of Reed descendants, was converted to a museum in 2004 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The museum is open by appointment, or when events are scheduled.
