Louis Cabot House is a historic home on Windmill Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1887, it is a standout example of Shingle Style architecture and was the centerpiece of industrialist Louis Cabot’s large country estate. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Located on a hill in a rural area southeast of Dublin’s center, the main block rises 3.5 stories, with a substantial 2.5-story wing attached at an angle. The south-facing façade looks toward Mount Monadnock. It features a shed-roof porch, a large gabled dormer, and eyebrow-like projections on the gable and end gables. The main entrance is on the west side, sheltered by a small arched portico.

In 1886, Louis Cabot—a Brookline, Massachusetts businessman from a family that made Cabot Stain—bought two farms here. The house was built the following year as the centerpiece of a gentleman farmer’s estate of about 2,000 acres, which included a very large barn. The house is believed to have been designed by Cabot’s cousin, Edward Clarke Cabot. After Cabot’s death in 1912, the estate was gradually sold off.
