The Daniel Hosmer House is a historic house at 253 North Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney, centered doorway, and overhanging second floor. The doorway is topped by a four-light transom window and flanked by simply-decorated molding. A single-story ell extends to the rear of the main block. This house was probably built by Daniel Hosmer in 1774, around the time of his marriage, on land belonging to his family. Hosmer was the grandson of Stephen Hosmer, one of West Hartford's first settlers. The house is locally distinctive for retaining a number of its outbuildings despite significant suburbanization of the area.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.
