The Nicholas Newlin House was built in 1742 in Concordville, Delaware County, Pennsylvania by Nicholas Newlin, about a mile west of the Newlin Mill Complex. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is located in the Concordville Historic District.^[1]

It was built in 1742 by Nicholas Newlin, and is one of the best preserved eighteenth-century houses in Concord Township. It was built with Flemish bond brickwork and a high stone foundation. Its asymmetrical windows divide the house into two sections, but they appear to have been built at the same time. The windows are unusually large for a house of its period. The interior has retained much of its original appearance and includes fine Georgian panelling.^[2]

The Newlin family arrived in Pennsylvania in 1683 and purchased 500 acres (2.0 km²) in what was then Chester County. Nicholas Newlin sold the house in 1751 to Micajah Speakman, who lived there until 1805.^[2]
