The Valentine Wightman House was a historic house at 1112 Mount Vernon Road in Southington, Connecticut. It was built around 1800 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.^[1] It has apparently been demolished.

Description

The Valentine Wightman House stood in western Southington, on the west side of Mount Vernon Road at its junction with Whitman Road. It was a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its front facade was five bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows and narrow moulding, and topped by a peaked lintel. The gable ends slightly overhung the sidewalls. The interior included three period fireplaces and some original wide flooring and carved wooden paneling.^[2] Its location is now occupied by a modern single-story house. The property also includes a 19th-century barn and farm outbuildings.

The house was probably built about 1800 for Valentine Wightman, the son of Reverend John Wightman,^[2] whose house still stands further south on Mount Vernon Road and who was the second settled Baptist minister in Southington.^[3] The house was notable primarily for its architecture, as a well-preserved example of late Georgian architecture.^[2]
