The Rockwell House, also known as the Frederick W. Rockwell House, is a historic house on the west side of Laurel Way in Norfolk, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a slate roof. The main facade's bays are separated by two-story pilasters, which are also found at the corners. A full entablature extends above the pilasters just below the roof line. The main entrance is centered, with a Palladian window above. The house was designed by architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor in Adamesque style and was built in 1928. It includes a number of Taylor quirks, including a dumbwaiter for hauling firewood.[2]

The house was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
