The '''Eagle Hotel''' is a historic hotel building at 110 North Main Street in [[Concord, New Hampshire]], located across the street from the [[New Hampshire State House]]. The oldest portions of this large brick building were built in 1851, on the site of the Eagle Coffee House, which had burned down the year before. As built then, it was four stories in height and twelve bays wide. On the ground level, the central four bays have rounded arches leading to the main entrance to the hotel area. The outer bays are taken up by retail storefronts. In 1890 its original gable roof was removed, a fifth floor was built, with a flat roof. At that time the decorative cornice that now adorns the top of the building was added.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=78000216}}|title=NRHP nomination for Eagle Hotel|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2014-10-24}}</ref> These alterations were designed by [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]] architect [[Amos P.
