Revell House, Colonial house in Burlington, US

The Revell House is a two-story building with white wooden walls and colonial features on Wood Street. The structure displays typical early colonial architecture with traditional craftsmanship and simple geometric forms.

George Hutchinson built this house in 1685, making it the oldest building in the area at that time. The property later passed to Thomas Revell and remained an important part of the town's early development.

The house reflects how early Quaker settlers lived in this region and shaped the community. Its simple design shows the values these residents held about practical building without unnecessary decoration.

The house stands at 213 Wood Street, within the Burlington Historic District bounded by the Delaware River and High, West Broad, Talbot and Reed Streets. It is a private building, so visitors see the exterior from the street; the 1966 move placed it on its present lot rather than at 8 East Pearl Street.

Local tradition holds that Benjamin Franklin, travelling to Philadelphia, was sold gingerbread and given supper here by a friendly Burlington woman, which earned the house the nickname Gingerbread House. The story is unverified but long attached to the building.
