Thayer's Hotel is a historic hotel building at 136 Main Street in downtown Littleton, New Hampshire. The  3 1⁄2 story wood frame building was built in 1843, and was a precursor of the grand resort hotels that were later built in northern New Hampshire. It is a prominent structure in downtown Littleton, with a Greek temple front that has three story Doric columns supporting a full entablature and frieze. It has a steeply pitched gable roof with seven gable dormers piercing each side of the roof, and is topped by a cupola. It has served as a backdrop for political rallies, and parts of its architecture were sought by Henry Ford for his museum of Americana in the 1930s.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
