The Endicott Hotel (formerly Blanchard's Block) is a historic hotel building at 1-3 South Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire. The four story brick building was completed in 1894 to a design by the regionally notable Damon Brothers architects. It was the city's first large commercial building south of Pleasant Street, and the first devoted exclusively to commercial activities (the earlier buildings included civic and social meeting spaces on upper levels). The building's most prominent feature is the oriel tower at the northwest corner, a signature element of Damon Brothers design. Its exterior has undergone only modest alterations.
The building's first owner was George Blanchard, under whose ownership it was used for commercial and office space. In 1908 it was purchased by John Butler Smith, who converted it to a hotel serving travelers arriving at the nearby railroad station, and gave the building its present name. In 1985 the upper floors were converted to apartments.
