Thomas Lee House, Colonial house in Niantic, Connecticut.
The Thomas Lee House features a timber frame structure with six wall posts, steep pitched roof, large central brick chimney, and original exterior clapboards.
Built around 1660, the house underwent multiple expansions, including the addition of a West Parlor and Chamber in 1700 and a lean-to Kitchen in 1765.
The East Lyme Historical Society transformed this former residential building into a museum that displays furniture and objects from 18th century American life.
Located at the intersection of Giant's Neck Road and Route 156, the Thomas Lee House opens for guided tours during summer months.
Norman Morrison Isham, an expert in early Connecticut architecture, directed the complete restoration of this structure after its rescue from demolition in 1914.
