In 1873, Sam and Olivia Clemens engaged New York architect Edward Tuckerman Potter to design their Hartford Home. Construction began in August of that year, while Sam and Livy were abroad. Although there was still much finish work to be completed, the family moved into their house on September 19, 1874. The house was designed in the American High Gothic style and has been described as "part steamboat, part medieval fortress and part cuckoo clock". Twain lived in the lavish, Gothic Revival mansion for 17 years, the happiest of his life.
