Built in 1765, it is a good example of Georgian residential architecture, notable as the home of Jedidiah Huntington, a general during the American Revolutionary War.

The General Jedidiah Huntington House is located in the Norwichtown part of Norwich, one its earliest areas of settlement.

It is located at the northeast corner of East Town Street and Huntington Lane, on a 2-acre (0.81 ha) lot fringed at the sidewalk by a low stone retaining wall.

It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gable roof, twin brick chimneys, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation.

He served at the Battle of Bunker Hill, in the 1776 New York and New Jersey campaign, and wintered at Valley Forge in 1777–78.
