William Jillson Stone House

Location
  
561 Main St., Willimantic, Connecticut

The William Jillson Stone House is a historic house museum at 561 Main Street inside Jillson Square Park, in the Willimantic section of Windham, Connecticut. It is a two story structure, built of native granite laid in alternating wide and narrow courses. The house is locally significant as a rare example of a stone house, and as the home of William Jillson, a native of Cumberland, Rhode Island, who was one of the first people to purchase industrial water rights at the Willimantic Falls. It is now owned by the Windham Historical Society.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
