The Jonathan Warner House, also known as Warner-Brooks House, is a historic house at 47 King's Highway in Chester, Connecticut. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and two interior chimneys. The central bay of the front is framed by two-story Ionic pillars supporting a small flat projecting roof. The main entrance is flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature, and sidelight windows outside the pilasters. It has a Palladian window above the entry with pilasters separating and flanking the window sections. An 18th-century carriage barn, which was moved to the site, serves as the garage. The house was designed by Jonathan Warner, a farmer, who copiously documented the house. The house was illustrated by J. Frederick Kelly in his prominent book The Early Domestic Architecture of Connecticut (1963).
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
