A chalet, also called Swiss chalet, is a type of building or house, typical of the Alpine region in Europe. It is made of wood, with a heavy, gently sloping roof and wide, well-supported eaves set at right angles to the front of the house.
Built in 1872 for a well-to-do textile manufacturer, this finely appointed chalet is an example of the romanticized view of Swiss rural life.

Downingâs view of the chalet is more consistent with Ruskinâs: âThe true site for a Swiss cottage is in a bold and mountainous country. . . or in a wild and picturesque valley.
