The Wakefield House, now known as the Wakefield Inn, is a historic house on New Hampshire Route 153 in the Sanbornville area of Wakefield, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house is believed to have been built c. 1785, but its exterior styling is mainly Federal in character, dating to the 1820s or later. It has a five-bay facade, with a double center door that is a mid-19th century alteration, probably made when the building was converted for use as an inn in 1853 (a role the building continues to play). The front porch, which extends the full width of the facade, also dates to this time.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
