The Moses Greenwood House, formerly the Dublin Inn, is a historic house at the corner of Pierce Road and Old County Road in Dublin, New Hampshire, United States. The oldest portion of this house was built c.1783 by Moses Greenwood, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, and is a fairly conventional four-bay wood frame structure. After being the Greenwood family home for a century, it was acquired by Mary Metcalfe, who added one wing in 1899, and Adele Thayer, who added a second wing in 1910. These additions, Georgian Revival in styling, were sympathetic to the style of the original house. The inn was the site of a meeting of notable Americans in 1945, who drafted the Dublin Declaration, a document calling for control of nuclear weapons and the broadening of the United Nations into a worldwide governing body.[2] A second meeting, the Dublin Assembly on Peace, was held in October 1965. This event was hosted by Anna K. Yoss, owner of the Dublin Inn.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
