The Greeley House is a historic First Period house on New Hampshire Route 108, east of the center of East Kingston, New Hampshire. It is located prominently on a bend in the road, just a few feet from the roadway. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was probably built in 1718, with the rear shed addition added later in the 18th century. Further additions including a gable dormer atop the rear section, and a 1960s-era shed-roof addition on the east side. The house is five bays wide (with only three windows on the second floor main facade) and has a large central chimney typical of the period.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
