The Isaac Greenwood House is a historic house on New Hampshire Route 101 in eastern Dublin, New Hampshire, United States. The oldest portion of this house was built c. 1784 by Isaac Greenwood, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. The house, a good example of additive architecture of the 19th century, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
Description and history
[edit]The Isaac Greenwood House is located in eastern Dublin, on the north side of New Hampshire Route 101 just east of its junction with East Harrisville Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and side gable roof. The main facade is five bays wide, with windows arranged symmetrically around the center entrance. A two-story single-depth ell extends to the right, offset back from the main facade. The ell has irregular window placement, with five windows on each level, along with two entrances.[2]
The house was built about 1784 by Isaac Greenwood, a Massachusetts native and veteran of the American Revolutionary War. When built, it was a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house with a large central chimney (whose foundation survives in the basement). This structure was raised to a full two stories in the early 19th century, and the ell was added c. 1885. The interior of the oldest portion has retained some of its period finishes, and represents a good example of a local vernacular farmhouse.[2]
