The Jonathan Murray House is a historic house at 76 Scotland Road in Madison, Connecticut. It is a two-story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with clapboard siding, a stone foundation, and a large central chimney. The roof is distinctive in beginning at the top of the first floor, even though there is a full second story. It is presumed, based on available documentary evidence and architectural analysis, to have been built about 1690 by Jonathan Murray, a Scottish settler. It is one of the state's small number of 17th-century houses.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
