Caleb Whittaker Place The Caleb Whittaker Place is a historic house on Perkins Pond Road in Weare, New Hampshire. Built in 1765, this single-story wood frame structure is remarkable for the excellent state of preservation of its interior. It is estimated to have been built c. 1765 by Caleb Whittaker, one of Weare's first settlers. The oldest portion of the house is a simple Cape-style structure with an unfinished attic space, with what is now the central chimney offset on its west side. On the far side of the chimney a similar section was built, probably not long after the first section, but its interior was apparently never finished off until 1977, when care was taken to preserve the original hand-hewn timbers. The exterior of the house was resided in 1902, at which time dormers and a porch were added. Because the house was tied up in estate litigation for many years in the 20th century, a number of features have survived inside that are often lost due to modernization, including leather-pinned door hinges and deeply worn wide floor boards.

Amos Chase House and Mill The Amos Chase House and Mill are a historic property on New Hampshire Route 114, just south of the Piscataquog River in Weare, New Hampshire. The house is a 2-1/2 Greek Revival two-family house built c. 1836. It has two similar five-bay facades (southeast and northeast) with central entries framed by pilasters and topped by architraves. The adjacent mill building is also a wood-frame structure, built c. 1849. Both buildings have seen only modest and superficial alteration since their construction. The mill is the only surviving 19th-century mill building in Weare, out of a cottage industry that once saw a dozen or more such buildings. This mill was the only one in the town to survive the New England Hurricane of 1938, although its waterwheel was washed away. The mill race providing water to the mill from the Piscataquog is still visible on the property, as is a dam built by Chase. Chase was a tool manufacturer; his son later used the mill in the manufacture of baskets.
