Francis Gillette House

The Francis Gillette House, at 545 Bloomfield Ave. in Bloomfield, Connecticut, is a stone house that was built in 1833. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The home has some local architectural significance but is mostly significant for its association with abolitionist Francis Gillette, as it was his home during the early years of the anti-slavery movement in America, and as it is asserted to have been used by him to shelter runaway slaves. Although the claim of underground railroad participation is claimed for many homes and is often not credible, here the claim dates from at least 1886 and been accepted by informed scholars.
