The Deacon Samuel and Jabez Lane Homestead is a historic farmstead on Portsmouth Avenue in Stratham, New Hampshire. It occupies a roughly triangular island of land bounded by the junction of New Hampshire Routes 33 and 108, which functions as a rotary. The main house is a 2-1/2 story Federal style structure built in 1807; the property also includes a corn crib dating to the same period, a shoe shop dating to c. 1740, and a mid-19th century barn. The house is notable for the joinery (particularly of its main staircase) of local craftsman Ebenezer Clifford, and the extensive personal journals, kept by Samuel Lane and his son Jabez, documenting the construction of the early 19th-century buildings.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
