The Lay-Pritchett House is a historic house in Westbrook, Connecticut. It is located on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) parcel on the west side of Stevenstown Road (Connecticut Route 145), north of its junction with Cross Road. It is a two story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with two chimneys, and a leanto section giving it a typical New England saltbox appearance. A modern ell extends further to the rear. Traditionally described as the oldest house in the Patchogue area of Westbrook, the present main block was probably built in stages at several points in the 18th century. It was originally attached to an even older structure, traditionally dated to 1648 and demolished c. 1891, whose large chimney now forms one of those in the main block.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
