The Francis M. Stafford House is a historic house located at 102 Broadway Street in Paintsville, Kentucky, United States.[1]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places not only for its architecture, but for its family's importance in the founding and development of Paintsville. In 1843, John Stafford, the original owner of the house, helped establish the city of Paintsville.[2] Then in the 1930s, the Stafford family sold most of their 1,000 acres (400 ha) farm to the city, doubling it in size.[2]
