The Daniel S. Piper House is a historic farmstead complex in Medford, Minnesota, United States. Consisting of an interconnected house, summer kitchen, shed, and barn, it is Minnesota's only known surviving example of a property type imported by settlers from New England. The Piper House complex was built in 1877. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 for having state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and exploration/settlement. It was nominated for being the only surviving example of a distinctive property type and for being a symbol of Minnesota's many New Englander pioneers.
