The Amory Ballroom is the only surviving remnant of a large summer estate house off Old Troy Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The original house, a palatial Italian villa, was built 1910-11 by the widow of William Amory, and was designed by Boston architect Charles Goodell. Of this construction, only the entrance hall survives; the ballroom, set behind the entrance hall, was designed by Harry Little and built 1926-27. The building is a stuccoed structure with five large round-arch bays with the main entrance in the center bay. The interior is decorated with tile from Henry Chapman Mercer's Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The building faces a terrace that once housed a formal garden and swimming pool. The building is set near a private road on the slopes of Mount Monadnock.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
