Ashlawn, also called the Joshua Perkins House, is a two-story, central-hall frame farmhouse dating from the 18th century in Hanover, Connecticut. The house's namesake is its first owner Joshua Perkins. Ashlawn's main house has a five-bay front facade with pilasters supporting broken-base pediments. The inside has woodwork for its moldings and wainscoting. The house was integrated with an older structure, likely a central-chimney house built in the mid-18th century as an ell.
Ashlawn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of Georgian architecture, and it is locally important for its connection with the Perkins family. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1979.
