Corban C. Farwell Homestead

Location
  
Breed Rd., Harrisville, New Hampshire

The Corban C. Farwell Homestead is a historic house at the junction of Breed and Cricket Hill Roads in Harrisville, New Hampshire. The 2 12 story wood frame house was built in 1901 by Corban Farwell, a local farmer. The house is distinctive as a late example of Greek Revival architecture, albeit with a number of Colonial Revival features added, as well as bands of scalloped wood shingles. Corban Farwell was a purveyor of farm supplies to the summer residents of the resort community that had sprung up around nearby Silver Lake, and also sold land along the lakeshore for expanding that development.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
