The Cove Island Houses, although plural in name, is a single house in Cove Island Park, in Stamford, Connecticut. The house was expanded from a first section that dates from 1791, and is now predominantly a Georgian style house with an older Federal style wing. It is the only building that is a legacy of the large Stamford Mills complex at the Cove.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] It presently houses administrative offices of Cove Island Park.
