The Witter House is a historic house on Chaplin Street in Chaplin, Connecticut. Built in 1820-21, the 2-1/2 story brick structure is a late example of Georgian architecture. It is five bays wide, with paired chimneys at the ends of the hip roof. The centered entrance is flanked by arched sidelight windows, and has a fanlight above. The fanlight detail is echoed by semi-elliptical fan louvers above each window. The roof has a monitor section at its center, an unusual feature not normally found in New England houses of the period. The house was owned by three generations of medical doctors all named Oren Witter, and was sold by the last one in 1960 to another doctor.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
