The Mason House is a historic house on Snow Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Situated on a ridge overlooking the Peterborough hills, this two story wood frame house was designed by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow and built in 1888. Originally a summer house three stories in height, this Shingle style house was reduced to two stories in 1950 when it was prepared for year-round occupancy. The house was built for a pair of spinster sisters, Ella and Ida Mason, who were friends of Raphael Pumpelly, whose summer estate was nearby. The house was occupied in 1910 by James Bryce, then the UK Ambassador to the United States, and was informally dubbed the "British Summer Embassy".
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
