Salmon P. Chase Birthplace was the birthplace and childhood home of Salmon P. Chase. It is located about north of Claremont on New Hampshire Route 12A. The -story wood-frame house was built c. 1790, and is a multi-section structure in an L shape. The main block is five bays wide and two deep, with a centered entry that has Greek Revival pilasters on the central entry and on the corners. This block faces west, and two narrower sections extend east from the rear. The first of these sections is also stories, with two chimneys. The easternmost section is stories, and was originally connected to a barn. The house is believed to be well-preserved, but there is no documentary evidence of its appearance in the early 19th century, and it is known to have been moved across the street from its original site in about 1848.
