Joseph Perkins House, built in 1763, is a historic house at 297 Howe Street in Methuen, Massachusetts.

It is one-story house on what is now Court Street, but was then a wilderness. John Perkins and his young bride Phebe (sic), both from York, Maine, began their married life here. They had few near neighbors; by 1774 there were only six other houses on the Castine Peninsula - three of these log cabins. As the Perkins family grew and prospered a four-room two-story addition was built across the gable end of the early home. Around 1783, the house was enlarged, the first one-story home being torn down to be rebuilt as a two-story ell.cite web|url=http://www.wilsonmuseum.org/johnperkins.html|title=Welcome to the John Perkins House|date=2008-08-18|work=The Wilson Museum|publisher=Castine Scientific Society]
