Chester Hills was author of "The Builder's Guide", an architectural pattern book published in 1846, which, like those of Minard Lafever, influenced architecture in the United States. It is a "practical treatise" on Greek and Roman style architecture.
One building influenced is Lounsberry and/or Alansten, within Boston Post Road Historic District.[1],[2]
