The Benedict House and Shop is located in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The house was built in 1740 and has an adjoining cobbler's shop. It is significant as a rare surviving example of a colonial artisan's workshop. The buildings are among the oldest colonial houses in Ridgefield. A sympathetic restoration by architect Cass Gilbert and other care has preserved the property in good condition.
A gabled barn which is now a house and a wellhouse are also on the property.
The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1998.
