The Townsend Farm is a historic farmstead on East Harrisville Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The property was developed in several stages, beginning with the construction of a modest, 1-1/2 story Cape style structure in c. 1780 by Abel Wilder. The main block of the farmhouse, to which the older structure is attached as an ell, was built c. 1850 by Jonathan Townsend; it is a 2-1/2 story Greek Revival structure. The property was acquire c. 1890 by the artist George DeForest Brush, who adapted it for use as his principal studio. Brush was a leading figure in Dublin's art colony, playing host to other artists and luminaries of the art world, including Isabella Stewart Gardner.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
