GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS HERE
Tobias Lear IV who helped built John Paul Jones’ ship Ranger lived here and is
buried nearby. His son became secretary to President George Washington who visited
– we are told – this very house. We offer a rare look inside Portsmouth’s restored
colonial.

Rarely open to the public, the Tobias Lear House in Portsmoutth, NEw Hampshire
was built in 1740. Because the house is so rarely open to the public, SeacoastNH.com
asked former board member and photographer Frank Clarkson for an inside view.

Lear House contact the Wentworth-Gardner and Tobias Lear Association. Following
