Chester Hills was author of "The Builder's Guide", an architectural pattern book published in 1846, which, like those of Minard Lafever, influenced architecture in the United States. It is a "practical treatise" on Greek and Roman style architecture.

Two buildings influenced are in Rye, New York: Lounsberry and the 1838 Peter Augustus Jay House within the Boston Post Road Historic District.,{{cite web|url={{NHLS url|id=82001275}} |format=pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination|date=1986-12-12|publisher=National Park Service}}{{cite web|url={{NHLS url|id=82001275|photos=y}} |format=pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination|date=1986-12-12|publisher=National Park Service}}
