The Aaron Barlow House is a historic house at the corner of Umpawaug and Station Roads in Redding, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with twin chimneys. Built in 1730, it is important as a surviving example embodying "the characteristics of early Georgian style domestic architecture that became prominent in the Colonies beginning in the mid-18th century" and also for its association with Col. Aaron Barlow, Joel Barlow, and General Israel Putnam, all significant local figures in the American Revolutionary War.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 29, 1982.[1]
