The Parmelee House is a historic house at 4 Beckwith Road in Killingworth, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof and a central chimney. Because it is set in a hill, it only has a single story at the rear. It was apparently built c. 1770 by Ezra Parmelee, and was in the hands of his descendants for most the years between then and 1928. The house is architecturally distinctive for the period, with an atypical floor plan that is partly a consequence of what would normally be the basement as a living space. The property also includes a c. 1880 barn.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
