The Raubold House is a historic house on Chesham Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. Completed in 1901, it is a good example of a vernacular house built for immigrant mill workers. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The Raubold House is located west of Harrisville's village center, set high on the north side of Chesham Road about 0.2miles west of its junction with Nelson Road. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and gabled roof with short returns. A covered porch extends across the south and east facades, supported by turned posts.
This house was built in 1901. It is a modest worker's house of a sort typically built in the town for immigrants working either in the mills or at one of the local summer resort estates. Robert Raubold, its first owner, was a German immigrant who had jobs both at the Cheshire Mills and at Aldworth Manor. The next owner was his nephew, Alfred Dietze, who worked as a gardener at a Dublin estate. A later owner was the stationmaster at Harrisville's railroad station.[1]
