The Murray Hill Summer Home District is a collection of farmhouses and related buildings on Murray Hill Road, a rural road in Hill, New Hampshire. The area is distinctive as a cohesive collection of rural properties that were adapted for use as summer estates between 1873 and 1937. The district has eight farmhouses that were adapted, and two Shingle style houses. All are located on Murray Hill Road between Cass Mill Road and Lynch (Dickerson Hill) Road. One typical property is the Chandler property, which includes a farmhouse built c. 1810, and operated primarily as a farm until 1878. The owners then began taking in summer boarders to supplement declining farm income. The Chandlers acquired the property in 1927, and began a series of modifications to adapt it as a summer property.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
