The Frank Pierce Carpenter House is a historic house at 1800 Elm Street on the north side of Manchester, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1891, and is a fine local example of high-style Queen Anne architecture. It was built for Frank Carpenter, then the president of the Amoskeag Paper Company, and a major city benefactor, and probably designed by Edgar Allan Poe Newcomb. The house is roughly square in shape, with a three-story turret at its southeast corner and a projecting window bay at its southwest corner. A 2-1/2 story ell which originally housed service facilities projects to the west. The main (eastern) facade is three bays wide: the turret occupies the left bay, and the main entrance the center. The entry is sheltered by a single-story porch supported by clustered Tuscan columns (replacements c. 1970 for originals styled like those on the building's porte cochere).[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] It was given to the American Red Cross in 1993 by Carpenter's heirs.[2]
