Jonathan Root House
The Jonathan Root House is a historic house at 140-142 North Main Street in Southington, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney and a center entrance. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a gabled entablature.〔 It was the residence of Jonathan Root, one of the early settlers of the area. The town was first settled in the late 17th century. The area was first known as ''Panthorne'' then became known as ''South Farmington'' and finally, as ''Southington''. The area was formally incorporated as a town in 1779. At the very first town meeting, held November 11, 1779, the residents chose Root as one of the five first selectmen.〔 At that same meeting, Root, along with Josiah Cowles, were appointed to a committee to "provide for the families of officers and soldiers in the field."〔
In 1774, Root was appointed to a committee to deliver provisions to Boston, in response to the British blockade of Boston harbor.〔
The Root House was a dwelling, but it also served as a tavern.〔 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.〔
