The House by the Side of the Road was a historic house at 61 School Street in Tilton, New Hampshire. The house, built circa 1783, was a modest 1+1⁄2-story Cape-style house five bays wide, with a center entry and a central chimney. The house was locally notable as the home of poet Sam Walter Foss in 1877–78, when he was attending Tilton Seminary, and was known as the "House by the Side of Road" after Foss's poem of the same name, since the 1890s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was demolished in March 2020.
