Thayer's Hotel is a historic hotel building at 136 Main Street in downtown Littleton, New Hampshire. The 3 1⁄2 story wood frame building was built in 1843, and was a precursor of the grand resort hotels that were later built in northern New Hampshire. It is a prominent structure in downtown Littleton, with a Greek temple front that has three story Doric columns supporting a full entablature and frieze. It has a steeply pitched gable roof with seven gable dormers piercing each side of the roof, and is topped by a cupola. It has served as a backdrop for political rallies, and parts of its architecture were sought by Henry Ford for his museum of Americana in the 1930s.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
