The Luke Richardson House is a historic house at 204 Hancock Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1820 by Luke Richardson, son of early settler Abijah Richardson, Sr. The house has vernacular Greek Revival styling, with corner pilasters and a wraparound porch. Luke Richardson operated a gristmill and sawmill on a nearby property, and was instrumental in establishing a Trinitarian Congregational church in Dublin in 1827. Later owners include Charles F. Appleton, who built a hydroelectric facility on Wilder Brook and provided Dublin with its first electric service, and artist Tom Blackwell, who used the barn on the property as his studio.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
