The Nelson Rhodehouse House is a historic house at 131 Main Street in the Cotuit village of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The 1-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1858 by Charles Baxter, a housewright, who sold it soon thereafter to Nelson Rhodehouse, a mariner.[2] The house is a fine example of Greek Revival style, with a distinctive side entrance located in a porch that is recessed under the gable. The house is finished in flushboarding, giving the appearance of masonry, with corner pilasters.[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
