The Elijah Locke House is a historic house at 5 Grove Road in Rye, New Hampshire. This 2-1/2 story wood frame house was probably built in 1739 by William Locke, descended from John Locke, one of the earliest settlers of New Hampshire. It is one of the few houses on New Hampshire's seacoast area to survive destruction in conflict with Native Americans. It has a typical Georgian plan, five bays wide, with a large central chimney, and a rear single-story addition (also an 18th-century structure).[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
