Wee Grimmet is a historic home located in Whitford, West Whiteland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The original section was built about 1720, and expanded about 1929 by noted architect John Gilbert McIlvaine, a partner of Wilson Eyre, and expanded again in late 1953. It is located on the Martha and Maurice Ostheimer Estate, along with the larger estate home known as "Grimmet." Wee Grimmet consists of a two-story, stuccoed stone core section with a gable roof. The addition contains a living room, library, and two bedrooms. The original house was built as a dwelling for tenant workers in the limestone quarry, salt mine, and kiln nearby.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
