The Jonathan Warner House, also known as Warner-Brooks House,[2] is a historic house at 47 King's Highway in Chester, Connecticut. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and two interior chimneys. The central bay of the front is framed by two-story Ionic pillars supporting a small flat projecting roof. The main entrance is flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature, and sidelight windows outside the pilasters. It has a Palladian window above the entry with pilasters separating and flanking the window sections. An 18th-century carriage barn, which was moved to the site, serves as the garage. The house was designed by Jonathan Warner, a farmer, who copiously documented the house. The house was illustrated by J. Frederick Kelly in his prominent book The Early Domestic Architecture of Connecticut (1963).[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
