The Holman & Merriman Machine Shop, also known as the Derby Shop, Goodnow Pail Factory, L. A. Carpenter Machine Shop, and Streeter Shop, is an historic industrial building at 63 Canal Street in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. This three story brick building, built in 1837, is the only building with a clerestory roof in Hinsdale, and one of only four in the state. This feature enabled the construction of larger industrial buildings prior to the introduction of artificial lighting. It is also distinctive as the only known example in the state of a building purpose built as a large-scale cooperage. The building is prominently sited immediately adjacent to Canal Street in eastern Hinsdale.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
