The Reuben Foster House and Perley Cleaves House are a pair of nearly identical Greek Revival houses at 64 and 62 North State Street in Concord, New Hampshire. The basic plans of these two houses, which were built as investments in the 1840s, are mirror images of each other. Each is a 2.5 story wood frame building, with a rectangular main block and a projecting side ell. The front facade of each house has a projecting gable supported by two-story fluted columns, with a porch accessible from the second floor. The main entrance is flanked by full-length sidelight windows and pilasters. The Foster house has had an addition built in the corner between the main block and the ell, which includes a projecting bay window on the front facade. The Cleaves house has somewhat more decorated facade: the cornice is deeper than that of the Foster house, and it is studded with brackets. The gable end has a full round-arch window, while that of the Foster house has a rectangular window with a round fanlight decoration.[2]
The houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
