Silas Deane House, Colonial residence in Wethersfield, United States.
The Silas Deane House stands as a two-story wooden structure with four bays, two interior chimneys, and a two-story extension at the back.
Built in 1766, this residence belonged to Silas Deane, who served as the first United States diplomat to France during the American Revolutionary War.
The interior maintains its original woodwork, including detailed fireplace panels, pilasters, and an ornate stairway balustrade from the 18th century.
The house operates as part of the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum at 203 Main Street, displaying period furniture and portraits of the Deane family.
During secret negotiations in Paris, Silas Deane secured French military supplies and support before France officially entered the American Revolutionary War.
