The Jacob Noyes Block is a historic commercial building at 48 Glass Street in the Pembroke side of Suncook, New Hampshire. The three story brick building was built by Jacob Noyes, a trader, as a speculative venture in c. 1865. Noyes apparently believed that commercial development would proceed from the main village center of Suncook up Glass Street, but it never did, and the building (then as now), stands isolated from other commercial buildings. It is a handsome vernacular building with Italianate styling. The meeting space on the building's upper floor is also notable as the site of meetings of the secret Société Sainte Jean Baptiste, a social and political organization of French-Canadians who had come in large numbers to work in the Suncook mills.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
