Gen. John Stark House, Historical house museum in Manchester, United States.

The Gen. John Stark House is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame Cape farmhouse at the southwest corner of Elm and Waldo Streets, with a gabled roof, central chimney and clapboarded exterior. A single-story ell extends to the rear, giving an L shape. The five-bay facade has a center entrance under a multilight transom window and nine-over-six windows; inside, a narrow vestibule opens to parlors on either side of the chimney, with the kitchen across the back.

Built in 1736, the house later served as the residence of Revolutionary War General John Stark and remained important to his family's story. It represents an ordinary home that became connected to American military history during the fight for independence.

The Daughters of the American Revolution maintain this house and offer visitors a look at how families lived during the early American period. Period furnishings and household objects remain on display to show daily routines from that era.

The house stands at the southwest corner of Elm and Waldo Streets, north of downtown Manchester, on land that was part of the original Stark farm. The single-story rear ell and the center entrance with its transom window are the easiest features to pick out from the street. The building is operated as a museum by the local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter.

The structure was relocated in 1968 to its current location while maintaining a connection to the original Stark family estate. This makes it an unusual example of a colonial house that preserved its historical roots despite being moved.
