The Chew-Powell House is a historic building in the Blenheim section of Gloucester Township, New Jersey. It was built in 1688 by James Whitall.

The well-preserved structure, which is privately owned and maintained, currently serves as a private residence. It was listed in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Historic Preservation Office in 1974 (ID# 957), and the National Register of Historic Places three months later in 1975 (NR reference #: 75001127). less
