The Isaac Reed House is a historic house at 30-34 Main Street in downtown Newport, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1869 by Dr. Isaac Reed, a local dentist, and is an important visual element of the municipal/county cluster of buildings which stand immediately adjacent. The house is Second Empire in style, with a mansard roof punctured by dormers with central segmented-arch roofs. The main facade is nominally three bays wide, although the first floor is divided in two, with a porticoed entry to the left and an ornately bracketed bay window to the right. There was originally an unsympathetic addition to the rear, which was built to make the building a multi-unit residence; this was removed in the 1970s, when the town decided not to raze the property.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
