The Cornet Thomas Wiggin House is a historic house at 249 Portsmouth Avenue (New Hampshire Route 33) in Stratham, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1775, although it was apparently not completed until the 1790s, after the death of Thomas Wiggin and the resolution of legal disputes concerning his estate. The interior is thought to have been finished by Nathan Barker, Wiggin's son-in-law and eventual purchaser of the property. The house is a well-preserved example of vernacular Federal architecture, and includes a barn that is believed to date to the same period.[2]
