The David Dexter House is a historic house on Lincoln Heights in northern Claremont, New Hampshire. This large, five-by-four bay wood frame 2-1/2 story house was built c. 1790 by David Dexter, who along with his brother Stephen was responsible for significant growth of the textile mills in central Claremont. The house was later used as a boarding house for mill workers. In the 1970s the house became the focal point for a long-running preservation debate, whose result was that the building was relocated to its present location, minus a later ell and its original central chimney, in 1975, to make way for an urban redevelopment project.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
