[1] The Pike House is located near the southern edge of the village of Goshen, on the east side of NH 10 a short way south of its junction with Brook Road.

The walls are framed with three-inch wood planking, oriented vertically, with dowels placed horizontally for lateral stability.

The entry is sheltered by a gabled porch with turned posts, and is flanked by sidelight windows.

One brick chimney rises off-center through the rear roof face, and another is set at one end.

In the first half of the 20th century, it was the home of Althine Sholes Lear, a locally prominent poet.
