The Riley-Bolten House, known locally as Uncle Tom's Cabin, is a 1½-story early-19th-century frame house with a mid-19th-century log wing in North Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland. Renovated between 1936 and 1939 in the Colonial Revival style to designs by Washington, D.C. architect Lorenzo S. Winslow, it was once the main house of the Riley plantation. Enslaved man Josiah Henson, whose autobiography inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, worked there and later managed much of the estate. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
