The Dustin House or Dustin Garrison House is a historic First Period house at 665 Hilldale Avenue in Haverhill, Massachusetts. It was under construction by farmer and brick-maker Thomas Duston at the time of the 1697 attack on Haverhill during King William's War.[2] It was during this raid that his wife, Hannah Duston, in bed at their existing home a half mile away, was captured by Native Americans. The house is one of a very small number of brick houses to survive from that time.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
