The Grayson House was a historic plantation house located in Franklin Parish, Louisiana, about 4.8 miles (7.7 km) south of Fort Necessity.

Built in c.1836 in Federal style by Wiley B. Grayson, it was originally a galleried dogtrot structure two rooms deep with four chimneys set against the exteriors of side walls. The house went under a major renovation in 1910, with the open dogtrot passage being enclosed, an outbuilding being moved and connected to the west side of the house, a rear kitchen being built and the front and rear dormers being added.[2][3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 27, 1982.[1] It has been destroyed some time after its enlistment.[2][4]
