Parson Thorne Mansion, also known as Silver Hill, is a historic mansion located at Milford, Kent County, Delaware. The mansion is located across from the Mill House. It was built between 1730 and 1735, and is a two-story, five-bay, center hall brick dwelling in the Georgian style. It has flanking one-story wings and a two-story frame rear wing. The house was remodeled in 1879, and features a steeply pitched cross-gable roof with dormers. It was the home of Delaware Governor William Burton (1789-1866) and the boyhood home of statesman John M. Clayton (1796-1856). The house reportedly has paranormal activity.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
