The William Strongman House is a historic house at 85 Old County Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The oldest portion of this house is its northern ell, a 1-1/2 story structure built in the late 18th century by William Strongman, son of Henry Strongman, who was Dublin's first settler. The main block of the house, a 2-1/2 story wood frame Colonial Revival structure, was built by William Wyman in 1899 to resemble typical late-17th century houses. One of its more notable summer occupants was philosopher Irving Babbitt.[2]

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