Parsons Homestead

The Parsons Homestead is a historic house at 520 Washington Road in Rye, New Hampshire.

Probably built at around 1800 but including portions of older buildings, it is a well-preserved example of a distinctive local variant of the Federal style of architecture.

The central bay is a two-story gabled projection, a distinctive local variant of the Federal style that is now seen in only a few surviving examples.

The main entrance is at the base of the projection, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a half-round transom.

Sash windows are placed in the other bays, framed by moulded surrounds.
