The Sterling Hill Historic District is located on the western edge of the town of Sterling, Connecticut, a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. One house included in the district extends into the adjacent town of Plainfield. The district includes the Sterling Hill Baptist Church from 1797, and 14 older and newer houses that include Greek Revival, Italianate, and Federal architecture. The Dorrance Homestead (c.1716) is a combination of original house to the right of its large chimney, plus a later addition to the left which includes a Greek Revival entry.
A portion of the Plainfield Pike (Connecticut Route 14A) runs through the district, a 3.6-mile (5.8 km) linear historic district noted for being traveled by the French Army during the Revolutionary War which is also listed on the National Register. The French camped overnight in Sterling Hill, both in 1781 and in 1782.
