The Eells-Stow House is a historic house at 34 High Street in Milford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, four bays wide, with a large chimney centered on one of the central bays, and the main entrance on the other. The oldest portion of the house is believed to date to c. 1700, and was built by Samuel Eells, a prominent local citizen. A later two story ell was built over an older leanto section. It is believed to be the oldest house in Milford. It is now owned by the Milford Historical Society and operated as a historic house museum.[2][3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
