The Whitman House is a historic house at 208 North Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, nine bays wide, with a rear leanto section giving it a saltbox appearance. The original five-bay section of the house was built c. 1764 by John Whiting, Jr., a prominent landowner who was involved in a petition to separate West Hartford from Hartford. The house was extended to nine bays in 1807, and underwent a major architect-led rehabilitation in 1913.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.[1]
