The Jonathan Wheeler House is a historic house on North Society Road in Canterbury, Connecticut. Built c. 1760, it has features unusual for its time, including end chimneys and a center-hall plan. The use of brick in this part of rural Connecticut is also unusual for the period.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

Description and history

The Jonathan Wheeler House is located in a rural setting of northern Canterbury, on the east side of North Society Road about {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} south of the Brooklyn line. It is set near the road, at the southwest corner of an {{convert|85|acre|ha|adj=on}} parcel historically associated with it. It is a 1-1/2 story brick structure, with a side gable roof and end chimneys. Its main facade is five bays wide, the center entrance set in a rectangular opening with a seven-light transom window. The interior follows a central hall plan, with parlor spaces on either side of a truncated hall, and the kitchen at the rear. Stairs to the attic are located in the hall, on the right side. It retains a number of original features, including woodwork, plaster, and brickwork. A modern wood-frame wing extends to the rear and right side.[2]

The house was built by about 1760 by Jonathan Wheeler, who moved to the area from Stonington in 1751. His family was well-established there, and he had purchased a number of land parcels in the Canterbury area in the 1750s. The house is unusual for its central-hall plan, built at a time when central chimneys were more common, and for its use of brick in a single-story rural building. The house remained in the hands of Wheeler descendants until 1870.[2]
