Treadwell Auctions
Description & Details
The Frank and Irene Giuffrida Collection
Treadwell Auctions is honored to present the private collection of Frank and Irene Giuffrida of Lynnfield, Massachusetts. The Giuffrida’s are best known as the founders and proprietors of Hilltop Steak House in Saugus, Massachusetts. What began in 1961 as a modest roadside bar on Route 1 was transformed by Frank Giuffrida into one of the most iconic and successful restaurants in the country. Originally opened as a 400-seat steakhouse with five themed dining rooms and a cocktail lounge, Hilltop eventually expanded to accommodate more than 1,500 guests due to overwhelming popularity and demand.
In 1977, the Boston Globe described Hilltop as generating the highest gross sales of any restaurant in the nation. While renowned for its classic beef-focused menu, Hilltop became equally celebrated for its unforgettable Western-inspired atmosphere. Guests were immersed in a world of carved wooden Indians, stone fireplaces, buffalo heads, Victorian lighting, rustic décor, and the warm earth tones that defined the restaurant’s unmistakable character.
Outside, grazing fiberglass cattle and the towering 68-foot neon cactus sign welcomed generations of visitors traveling along Route 1-the cactus still stands today as a recognized local landmark.
This sale features the private collection that filled the Giuffrida family home for decades. Following the viral success of TikTok videos showcasing the residence and its interiors, granddaughter Caterina Primavera told Newsweek, “The home is very much rooted in 1970’s design, although many elements lean into the late 1960’s as well. My nana had a very distinct vision and designed the entire space around that era??.
