The William K. Eastman House, also known as the Eastman-Lord House, is a historic house museum at 100 Main Street in Conway, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1818 by William K. Eastman, who made it his home until his death in 1879. Eastman was a major economic force in Conway, operating a tannery, general store, and mill. He was also prominent in local politics, serving as sheriff and in the state legislature.[2] The house was donated by Raymond Lord to the Conway Historical Society, which is headquartered there and operates it as a house museum.[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
