Revell House, also known as the Hutchinson-Revell House, in Burlington, New Jersey, is the oldest building in Burlington County and one of the oldest residences in New Jersey. It was constructed in 1685 by George Hutchinson, a wealthy Quaker distiller, and sold to Thomas Revell who used it as offices from 1696 to 1699. Originally located at 8 East Pearl Street the building was relocated to 213 Wood Street in 1966. According to tradition Benjamin Franklin was sold gingerbread and given supper by a friendly Burlington woman on his way to Philadelphia and is therefore sometimes referred to as the Gingerbread House. It is a contributing property of the Burlington Historic District bounded by the Delaware River and High, West Broad, Talbot, and Reed Streets listed March 3, 1975.
