The Lewis Downing Jr. House is a historic house at 33 Pleasant Street in Concord, New Hampshire. This 2.5 story wood frame Italianate house was built in 1851 for Lewis Downing Jr., president of the Abbot-Downing & Company, a nationally known manufacturer of coaches, and is the only surviving building associated with that business. The house is basically rectangular, with cross gables sections projecting from the sides. Its notable features include the paired brackets in the eaves, the chimneys, and the side porch, which retains some of its original styling despite 20th century repairs and replacements. A late-19th century garage at the rear of the property also has decorative touches such as bracketed eaves, and a side entrance framed by arched latticework.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
