The Persia Beal House is a historic house on the north side of Chesham Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. It is now the Harrisville Inn. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1842, and is one of the best-preserved 19th century connected farmsteads in the town. The property is also notable for its association with Worcester, Massachusetts businessman Arthur E. Childs, who purchased the property to serve as the estate farm for his nearby Aldworth Manor summer estate.[2]

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