Deacon John Graves House, Colonial house in Madison, United States.
The Deacon John Graves House, constructed in 1685, stands as a two-story residence with traditional New England architectural elements and a massive central chimney.
The property served as a residence for nine generations of the Grave family from 1685 to 1978, maintaining detailed account books of their daily transactions.
The house functioned as a community center, operating as a tavern, school, courtroom, and temporary military hospital during the French and Indian War.

The attic contains an unexplained hidden compartment measuring 8 feet by 5 feet, accessible only by removing specific loose floorboards.
