The Merrifield House, also known as Rosebank, is a historic house at 11 Woods Lane in Ipswich, Massachusetts. It was built c. 1792 by Francis Merrifield, Jr., a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. The main block of the house is a 2.5 story, nearly square, wood frame structure with an off-center chimney. The house has a number of rambling additions, some of which may have been built by Merrifield to accommodate his large family. It is also somewhat unusual in having a second cooking fireplace in its second level.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
