House by the Side of the Road, National Register Historic Place in Tilton, United States.

The House by the Side of the Road was a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame Cape-style house at 61 School Street in Tilton, New Hampshire, built about 1783. Its five-bay front had a center entry with sidelights and six-over-six sash windows; a side-gable roof and off-center corbelled brick chimney completed the modest vernacular structure, demolished in March 2020.

The house was built about 1783 as a modest 1½-story Cape-style wood-frame dwelling, typical of late 18th-century rural New Hampshire construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was demolished in March 2020 and replaced by a new house on the same lot.

The house was called the "House by the Side of Road" after Sam Walter Foss's poem of the same name, a name in use since the 1890s. Foss lived here in 1877–78 while attending Tilton Seminary, then known as Tilton School. The building was demolished in March 2020.

The house stood on the east side of School Street, a short way north of the Tilton School and opposite its athletic fields, on a small wooded parcel. It was demolished in March 2020 and replaced by a new house of similar design, so only the site and the barn behind it remain.

The house was demolished in March 2020 and replaced by a new house of similar design, which received a certificate of occupancy in November 2023; the same barn still stands behind it. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and the town records give the address as 71 School Street.
