John and Phineas Hough House, also known as "Twin Arches," is a historic home located at Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The original two-bay stone house was expanded to its present form in about 1840 with the addition of a two bay section. It is a 2 1/2-story, four bay dwelling in the Federal style. The front facade features an arcade of two Roman arches added about 1801 to the original dwelling. Also on the property is a contributing stone spring house. The original section of the house is believed to date as early as 1700, and considered the oldest documented stone house in Bucks County.^[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.^[1]
