2½ Beacon Street, also known as the former New Hampshire State Prison Warehouse, is a historic commercial building at 2½ Beacon Street in Concord, New Hampshire. The two story brick building was built in 1860, with an addition on the north side added in 1868. Its original function was to provide a workshop for prisoners in the adjacent correctional facility. It served in this capacity until the entire prison complex was closed and sold by the state in 1880. It thereafter served a variety of commercial and industrial uses before being converted for use as office space.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
