Indian Hill House is a private residence named for the Indian Hills of Groton, Massachusetts. Designed in 1962-63 by Maurice K. Smith, the house was built by . The house appears in several architectural works, including the Harvard Art Review, Harvard Educational Review, Spazio e Societa as Casa/House 1, and Progressive Architecture, . An extensive photographic study of the house, then only a few years old, was taken for the Winter 1967 issue of . In his 1989 work, Architecture and Urbanism, Henry Plummer concluded of this house that it contained "innumerable locales, of fragmentary rooms loosely interlocked, of zones both intimate and grand, created for an almost endless array of eyes, and heads and bodies and voices, an abundance which no longer bears upon the needs of a single person. Not only does the building form evolve but it is never perceived by two persons in quite the same way."

He goes on to write that this family house is "a place of real options and opportunities can be richly interpreted by whoever is living in it." MIT School of Architecture Chair Mark Jarzombek wrote in 2013, "Indian Hill House – in a more restrained clean modernist aesthetic — is different from own house in many respects.

The whole is protected by shed-and-gable roofs designed to appear as thin and lightweight as possible." Indian Hill House is set on 7 acres at the uphill woodland end of Skyfields Drive. The property complements a nearly 500-acre preserve of surrounding woodland under care of the , , and . Its Indian Hill Road access was closed and the approach changed to Skyfields Drive when the original, larger property was subdivided in March 2000. During its planning and construction from 1962–65, Indian Hill House was referred to by architect Smith as "Blackman House 1" to be followed in the 1990s by Blackman House 2. Blackman House 3 was designed by others. Fifty-three drawings and photographs of the house are kept by the .
