Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #170
Dorothy Vaughan, first president of Strawbery Banke, shows Judson Dunaway of Dover around the Wheelwright House in Puddle Dock in the mid-1960s. Sea captain John Wheelwright built the attractive house just prior to the Revolution, but died bankrupt in 1784. Dunaway funded the restoration and the building of the 1967 Dunaway General Store nearby, now a restaurant.
