The Benjamin Learned House is a historic house on Upper Jaffrey Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The 1-1/2 story Cape style house was built c. 1767-70 by Benjamin Learned, one of Dublin's early settlers, and remained in his family's hands for over a century. In 1896, the house (along with Learned's nearby 1790 homestead) became part of Franklin MacVeagh's Knollwood summer estate. It was home to illustrator Jacob Bates Abbott in the 1940s.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
