Silas Deane House in Wethersfield, Connecticut was the home of Silas Deane, the first diplomat for the United States.

Deane built the house in 1766. The two-story Georgian house is L-shaped with gable roof and two interior chimneys.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/70000835.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Silas Deane House] |309 KB|date=January 24, 1972 |author=Charles W.
