The Carpenter and Bean Block is a historic apartment house at 1382-1414 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. It is a large brick building, which was built in two stages. The first section, built in 1883, is a three-story sixteen-bay structure with vernacular Italianate styling at the corner of Elm and Dow Streets. In 1892 a four-story section, seven bays wide, was added which has similar styling. The bays are grouped in fours, each separated by a strip of brick that rises the height of the building. Each section has a recessed entry, with a segmented arch overhead, and granite steps, wrought iron railing, and iron bootscrapers. The building was built as an investment property by Josiah Carpenter and Nehemiah Bean, and was a rare surviving residential design by local architect John T. Fanning.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
