The Parsons Studio and Casino is a historic house on Parsons Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The oldest portion of this Shingle style house was built c. 1903 by Georgianna Parsons, and was originally located near the Maplecote property down the hill from its present site. In 1960 it was dragged by sled up the hill, where it has commanding views of Mount Monadnock and other area hills. It was sensitively extended in both 1967-68 and 1973-74. Its original use was as an entertainment hall ("casino"), and was later converted into an artist's studio.[2]

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