The John Randall House is a historic house on Connecticut Route 2 in North Stonington, Connecticut. It is set on a rural parcel of land, down a long lane on the west side of Route 2, about 2,000 feet (610 m) north of its junction with Interstate 95. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five asymmetrical bays wide, with a large central chimney. Its oldest portion probably dates to the late 17th century, although its main block probably reached its present configuration c. 1720. The house is framed with inch-thick planking, a common technique of the period, although the planking was usually thinner. The house was the subject of a restoration guided by early preservationist Norman Isham.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1978.[1]
