The Perkins-Rockwell House is a historic house at 42 Rockwell Street in Norwich, Connecticut. Built in 1818, it is a large Federal style house, built of random-cut ashlar granite, with a hip roof. A single-story porch extends across the building's front and wraps around the left side. There is a single-story wood frame addition east of the front facade, set before a recessed original kitchen section. The house is locally distinctive as a well-preserved stone house of the Federal period, and for its association with the locally prominent Perkins and Rockwell families; this house was home to John A. Rockwell, a prominent local lawyer who married into the Perkins family, and also served as a member of Congress.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.
The house is owned by the Faith Trumbull Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, along with the adjacent Nathaniel Backus House.
