Glenchrest is a historic farmstead on New Hampshire Route 137 in Harrisville, New Hampshire, United States. The 1.5 story wood frame Cape style house was built c. 1802 by Asa Fiske, who moved to the area from Holden, Massachusetts. It has a five bay facade, with a sidelighted center entry that has been obscured by an enclosed entrance porch; there is also a 1970s side ell. The house has been owned by two families, the Fiskes and the Gilchrests (since 1915).[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
