The Wheeler–Ingalls House is a historic house at 51 Summer Street in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 2+1⁄2-story saltbox house may have been built between 1710 and 1750 by Samuel Millard.[1] In 1760 it was purchased by Dr. John Wheeler, and by the American Revolutionary War it had passed into the Ingalls family.[1] Starting around this time a rear lean-to and dog leg ell were added and completed by 1800. Federal style modernizations have since been made to the left parlor which include the mantel and field paneled dado.[1] The "excellently preserved" side entry barn was a later addition and dates to at least 1840. Original early-mid 18th century elements including "Chamfered posts, girts, and summer beams were apparently never covered in the right hall."[1] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2]
