The Jonathan Barnes House is a historic house on North Street in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1773-75 for the Rev. Jonathan Barnes, the first settled minister of the town. It is locally distinctive as one of only a few colonial-era houses, and is a well-preserved example of Georgian styling. It has also seen a number of socially significant uses, serving at times as a tavern, library, music school, and fraternal lodge. Surviving interior architectural details provide a significant view into the history of tavern architecture.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
