The Asie Swan House is a historic house in Methuen, Massachusetts. Built c. 1720, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is a 1+12-story frame house, five bays wide, with clapboard siding, central chimney, and granite foundation. Its central entrance is flanked by sidelight windows. The house originally stood at a location on Prospect Hill in what is now Lawrence, where it was used for the first town meetings beginning in 1726. It was moved in 1808 to its present location.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
