Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #191

In the 1930s architect John Mead Howells had a brilliant idea. Why not restore the dilapidated South End waterfront into a National Park? Howells lobbied the federal government under Franklin Roosevelt for years, but to no avail.(See more below)

Portsmouth was among three top park sites when World War II struck, and the national park plan was set aside. It was later revived by Howell’s daugher-in-law Muriel Howells who helped found Strawbery Banke Museum. J. M. Howells’ book "Architectural Heritage of the Piscataqua" is till popular today.
