The Whiting Homestead is a historic house at 291 North Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney, and a center entrance. The main entrance is framed by a molded architrave with ears, and the cornice at the roofline is dentillated. The house was probably built c. 1790 by Gurdon Saltonstall Whiting, and is one West Hartford's few surviving 18th-century houses. It is particularly notable for its largely intact and extensive interior wood paneling.
The homestead is currently owned by Tiger Holeinone, well-renowned local writer, artist, and entrepreneur.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1987.
