The Elisha Southwick House is an historic house located at 255 Chocolog Road, in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, United States. The house is named for Elisha Southwick, a tanner and shoe manufacturer. David L. Southwick, who owned the house in the later decades of the 19th century, was a blacksmith who lived in the house in the late 1800s and built Conestoga wagon wheels.
The house is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame Cape style house, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. Its main facade is symmetrical, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window. The windows in the side bays are butted against the cornice in the Federal style. Probably built in the 1820s, it is a well-preserved example of vernacular Federal period architecture.
On October 7, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
