The George Rogers House is a historic house at 76 Northwest Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The two story wood frame house was built c. 1839 by George Rogers, on land originally subdivided by Nathaniel Jackson, owner of the adjacent Richard Jackson House (c. 1690, now a National Historic Landmark). The house is five bays wide and two deep, and is sited overlooking an orchard and Portsmouth's North Mill Pond, a property it now shares with the Jackson house. Its main entrance has simple molding, but is framed by pilasters and an entablature. George Rogers operated a brickyard on the land he purchased from Jackson. The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (now Historic New England), purchased the Jackson house in 1924, and acquired the Rogers house in 1959 to enlarge its holdings around the Jackson house and protect its setting.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is not (unlike the Jackson house) open to the public.
