Built about 1796, the house is most notable for the high quality folk murals drawn on its walls, most likely by the itinerant artist Rufus Porter between 1825 and 1830.

[1] The Daniel Carr House is located in a rural setting in northern Haverhill, on a dirt lane extending west from a 90-degree bend in Brier Hill Road about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of New Hampshire Route 10.

The main block is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window and corniced entablature.

The western parlor, as well as both levels of the hall, feature painted and stenciled artwork on their walls, above wooden wainscoting and chair rails.

After standing vacant for two decades, the house was purchased by sisters Rebecca Field Jones and Alma Duckworth in the 1980s, and underwent a major historically accurate and sympathetic restoration effort.
