John Wentworth House Circa 1695 Print E-mail
Written by Strawbery Banke Archive   

Front door of Wentworth House, Portsmouth, NH / Strawbery Banke MuseumStrawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #93

Three royal governors, all Wentworths, ruled over 18th century NH. This stately Puddle Dock home belonged to John Wentworth, first of the family dynasty that ended with the American Revolution. Sadly, "antiques" dealer Charles Stewart paid $3,500 and deconstructed it in the 1920s. The Metropolitan Museum (NY) and Winterthur Museum (DE) purchased some of its fine woodworking.
