 Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #7
So many colonial homes survive in Portsmouth that we forget how many we’ve lost.
The Judge John Sherburne House stood near the corner of Daniel and Bow streets
until it was torn down in 1924. The original owner served under King George around
the time the house was likely built in 1760. The building later became a boarding
house for sailors. The cupola at the top is reminiscent of the one on the building
next door – the Warner House – that still stands today.
