Traditionally called the Gen. Daniel Baldwin House, the house on Main Street at Church Hill Road in Newtown, consists of an earlier section in the rear, dating to 1712 and built by Job Sherman, and the Federal-style front section, built in 1791 by Joseph Nichols. The house was later owned by David Van Buren Baldwin, grandson of Caleb Baldwin, who operated the nearby Baldwin Tavern. It has the most elaborately detailed facade of the eighteenth-century houses in the Newtown Borough Historic District.
