Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day House, also known as Sunnyhill Home, is a historical building significant for its association with geologist Fisk Holbrook Day.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.

Day collaborated with Thomas Greene, whose former home, the Thomas A. Green Memorial Museum and Collection, is now a museum designated a NHL.

The pianist Liberace once sought to purchase this home as the location for his museum in 1978.
