The Benjamin Rowe House is a historic house at 88 Belknap Mountain Road in Gilford, New Hampshire. It is a single-story Cape style house built of brick, with a wood-frame ell to the rear. It was probably built in the 1830s, and remains one of the town's best-preserved 19th-century Cape style houses. It underwent a number alterations, particularly in the early 20th century when the property was in active use as a dairy farm, but these were removed when the building underwent a comprehensive restoration to its original 19th-century appearance in the 1990s. The town purchased the farm in 1970, and briefly housed town offices in the house during the 1980s. It now houses a local history museum.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
