The Matthew Harvey House is a historic house on Harvey Street in Sutton, New Hampshire. This elegant Federal style wood frame house was built in 1784, at a time when Harvey Street was a major north-south thoroughfare. Matthew Harvey, who had settled the land in 1772, built this house, from which he operated a tavern that may have been the first in Sutton. At his death in 1799 he was the largest landowner in town. The heavy frame of the house suggests it may have been built by someone more experienced in building larger wood frame buildings such as meeting houses; Harvey's cousin John is known to have engaged in this business, and may have been the builder of this house.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
