The Ephraim Hawley House is a Colonial American wooden post-and-beam timber-frame saltbox farm house located on the Farm Highway, Route 108, on the south side of Mischa Hill in the center of the village of Nichols in Trumbull, Connecticut in New England. Construction of the house began between 1670 and 1690. The house is unique, besides being one of the oldest houses in Nichols, it has been located in four different named townships in its history, but has never been moved; Stratford (1670–1725), Unity (1725–1744), North Stratford (1744–1797) and Trumbull (1797–present).

Famous quotes containing the words ephraim and/or house:
“The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.”
—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1881)
“[My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
