The Dike-Orne House was a historic house at 257 Forest Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. A typical rambling New England farmstead, this c. 1850 house had an attached shed and carriage barn. It was unusual for its Gothic Revival styling, Vergeboard decoration typical of the style decorated its gables and roof line. The house was probably built by Lyman Dike, and was later owned by Joshua Orne, a shoemaker working for a factory in nearby Stoneham.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1] It was demolished in 1996.[2]
