The Samuel Eliot House is a historic house at 500 Main Street in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and two interior chimneys. Its main entrance is centered on the south facade, with a projecting portico supported by square posts. The interior has retained much of its original woodwork. Its construction date is traditionally said to be 1737, when Samuel Eliot (son of Yale founding trustee Jared Eliot) was married.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
