Swain-Harrison House
Swain-Harrison House, Colonial house in Branford, Connecticut.
The Harrison House features a two-and-a-half-story timber frame structure with a gabled roof, large central chimney, and clapboarded exterior on Main Street.
Constructed in 1724 by Nathaniel Harrison II, the house became part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 within the Canoe Brook Historic District.
The Branford Historical Society maintains this building as a museum, displaying period furniture, local artifacts, and historical archives for public education.
Located at 124 Main Street between Cherry Hill Road and Route 1, the house includes guided tours through its preserved colonial-era rooms and gardens.
The structure contains three distinct overhangs: one plain first-floor projection and two additional ones on both gable ends above the second floor.
