The Weeks House (R), a massive two-story brick house with two tall chimneys obviously restored, and segmental arched openings on the first floor, is probably the oldest brick house in the State. The date of its erection is uncertain. One authority cites a family tradition that it was built by the father of Leonard Weeks in 1638; another says it was the work of Leonard's son Samuel on the occasion of his marriage to Eleanor Haines in 1700-05. The black, hand-burned bricks used in the front of the house have a speckled appearance; it is laid in Flemish bond, while that of the sides is laid with every fourth course a header. According to tradition these bricks were burned in front of the house-site. The walls are 18 inches thick, and originally held small, leaded casement windows set with diamond-shaped panes. These remained in the house until around 1870. Hardwood timbers are used throughout the house, and the beams in the cellar are 14 inches thick. The red-oak sleepers, 10 inches thick, retain their bark. The interior walls are covered with planks over which plaster has been laid.
Tradition has it that the house was built as a garrison against the Indians. Descendants of Samuel Weeks lived in the house for more than two hundred years, and were among the largest landowners in Greenland. - New Hampshire: A Guide to the Granite State, Tour 17, pg. 481.
Now most historian say the Weeks house was built about 1710 by Samuel Weeks on his father's farmstead which dates to the 1656. The two and a half brick house is one of the oldest brick houses in New England. The distinctive house has 18 inch thick brick walls constructed of bricks fired on site, the house may be the oldest house in New England constructed of locally produced brick. The house remained in the Weeks family until 1968 when it was sold. The house was purchased in 1975 by the Leonard Weeks & Descendants in America, Inc. The non-profit organization was formed to preserve the house and the surrounding land from development. The house is occupied by tenants and is not open for tours except by appointment and during the annual meeting of the Leonard Weeks & Descendants in America held in late summer. The surrounding 30 plus acres of conservation land are open to the public from dawn to dusk. The house is best viewed from Hwy 33 where a historical marker is located.
