Prescott Rd., Epping, New Hampshire

The Benjamin Franklin Prescott House is a historic house on Prescott Street in Epping, New Hampshire. Built in 1875 for politician (and future Governor of New Hampshire) Benjamin Franklin Prescott, it is the town's finest example of Second Empire architecture. Its main block is three bays wide and two deep, and is topped by a mansard roof with flared eave. It has paneled cornerboards, paired brackets in the eaves, and a richly detailed front portico.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
