The Hills House is a historic house at 211 Derry Road (New Hampshire Route 102) in Hudson, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was probably designed by Boston architect Hubert G. Ripley early in his career, and was built in 1890 as the summer home of Albert and Ida Verginia Hills. Named "Alvirne" (a combination of their first names), it is an excellent local example of Shingle style, with a variety of roof lines, projections, porches, and a turret with conical roof. Hills bequested his property to the town for the construction of a high school, resulting in the construction nearby of Alvirne High School. The house is now used by the local historical society as a museum and meeting space.[2]

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