The President's House of Keene State College, formerly the Catherine Fiske Seminary For Young Ladies, is a historic house at 251 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire. The 2 story brick mansion was built in 1805 by John Bond, the local postmaster. Originally Federal in its styling, it was extensively redesigned later in the 19th century, and is now predominantly Italianate. The house served as a girls' school from 1824 to 1844 under the oversight of Catherine Fiske. The house was acquired by what is now Keene State in 1909, and now serves as the official residence of its president.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
