Wildcliff, also known as the Cyrus Lawton House, was a twenty-room Gothic Revival cottage-villa overlooking Long Island Sound in New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York. Designed by prominent architect Alexander Jackson Davis and built around 1852, the house exemplified the picturesque aesthetic of its era. Listed on both the New York State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places (added December 31, 2002), Wildcliff was destroyed by fire on November 26, 2018. The blaze, deemed suspicious, resulted in the arrest of four juvenile local residents on charges including criminal trespass and arson.
