The Moses Eaton Jr. House is a historic house on Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) in Harrisville, New Hampshire. The 1.5 story plank-framed Cape style house was built c. 1790 by Daniel Warren, a veteran of the Battle of Bunker Hill. It is located at the northeast corner of Hancock Road and Sargent Camp Road. The house is notable as one of the best-preserved plank-style Capes in Harrisville, and the oldest building in the Eastview area of the town. It is also notable as the home for many years of the itinerant folk stenciler Moses Eaton Jr. Eaton and his father both practiced this trade, and instances of their work survive in houses scattered throughout New England (including in this house). The property remains in the hands of Eaton's descendants, who are also artists.[2]

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