The Perkins-Rockwell House is a historic house at 42 Rockwell Street in Norwich, Connecticut. Built in 1818, it is a large Federal style house, built of random-cut ashlar granite, with a hip roof. A single-story porch extends across the building's front and wraps around the left side. There is a single-story wood frame addition east of the front facade, set before a recessed original kitchen section. The house is locally distinctive as a well-preserved stone house of the Federal period, and for its association with the locally prominent Perkins and Rockwell families; this house was home to John A. Rockwell, a prominent local lawyer who married into the Perkins family, and also served as a member of Congress.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.[1]
The house is owned by the Faith Trumbull Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, along with the adjacent Nathaniel Backus House.
