The oldest house in Chester is the Thomas Dunk House, at 16 North Main Street, now home to the Thomas Dunk House Gallery. The exact date of the house’s construction is not known, but it was built sometime between 1672, when the land was deeded to Thomas Dunk, and 1711, when his son, Jonathan Dunk, was born in the house.
