The Edward Yeomans House is a historic house on the waterfront of Palmer Cove on Brook Street in the Noank section of Groton, Connecticut. It is a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed wood frame structure, whose construction history dates to 1713. At that time Edward Yeomans built a five-bay center-chimney structure with gable roof, on land that was contested by the local Pequot people. Before 1760, a sixth bay was added, and the roof replaced by the gambrel roof. In the early 19th century, a shed-roof kitchen addition was added, and the main entrance relocated from the south to the north side of the house. The house is believed to be the oldest in Noank.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1978.[1]
