[1] The John Humphrey House is located in Simsbury's rural East Weatogue area, on the west side of East Weatogue Road north of its junction with Talcott Mountain Road.

It is a two-story frame house, five bays wide, with a centered entry and a large central chimney.

The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule that has a winding staircase to the second floor.

The ell extending to the right, a 19th-century addition, retains features period to its original construction, although one of its fireplaces has been bricked over.

The land on which it stands was granted to Michael Humphrey in 1668, but there is no firm evidence of a house until 1760, when the estate of his grandson John was inventoried.
