The William Rossiter House is a historic house at 11 Mulberry Street in Claremont, New Hampshire. The main block of this multi-section house was built in 1813 by Austin Tyler, and retains some elements of Federal style. An ell was added, and the house given extensive Greek Revival treatment, c. 1830-50 by William Rossiter, a prominent local businessman and politician. Prominent in these alterations was the addition of a full Greek temple front, complete with two-story columns and a projecting triangular gable pediment. A garage was added to the rear early in the 20th century.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
