The Thomas Lyman House is a historic house at 105 Middlefield Road in Durham, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with two chimneys, a hip roof and two front dormers. The front entry is sheltered by a small Doric-columned porch. The house was built c. 1774 by Thomas Lyman IV, and is locally unusual for its hip roof, which is not normally found on houses of the period. Lyman, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, is said to have been friends with Thomas Jefferson and to have entertained Lafayette in this house several times.[2]

The 1-acre (0.40 ha) property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
