The Elisha Allen House is a historic house at 108 Homestead Avenue in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 1-1/2 story Cape style house was built between 1738 and 1759, and is one of the oldest and least-altered structures in the town. A rear ell was added between 1775 and 1825, and a new kitchen wing was added c. 1830 to the east end. The original house was probably built by Deacon Ezekiel Read or his son, Ezekiel Jr. The house was in the hands of the Allen family from 1759 to 1895.[2]

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