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.
