The Leffingwell Inn (now know as Leffingwell House Museum) is a historic inn at 348 Washington Street in the Norwichtown section of Norwich, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, built in stages in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its oldest part, the northeastern corner, dates to 1675. Over the next century it was altered and expanded several times, reaching its present configuration, which is a roughly square structure with two main facades and long sloping roof lines alon g the other two facades, as if two saltbox houses had been joined at a corner. The building is locally historically important as a meeting point during the American Revolutionary War. It is now a museum property.[2]:4
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
