The Sarah Pennington House is a private house located at 719 Maple Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
The Sarah Pennington House is a 1+1⁄2-story frame Queen Anne structure with a front roof gable. The gable end on the front facade has an elliptical arch seen in Colonial Revival and Shingle Style designs. Below the gable is a single story polygonal bay window with a hipped roof. The entrance is located on the side of building, through a projecting entrance bay. The house has one-over-one wood-framed window units capped with cornices.
The Sarah Pennington House was constructed some time before 1902. When built, the house was a twin of the structure next door, which implies it may have been erected by a builder as a speculative investment. By 1917 it was owned by Sarah Pennington. Pennington was widowed and used the house to take on boarders.
