SEACOAST BOOKS
Portsmouth has always been about its buildings. Thanks to a few twists of Fate the Old Town by the Sea managed not to grow too big and to preserve many of its early homes. We have possibly more public house museums per capita than any city in the nation. This handy guide by BU emeritus professor Candee covers it all. An ideal reference for builders, buyers, restorers, owners, tourists and historians.

Version 2.0
Re: Building Portsmouth
The Neighborhoods & Architecture of New Hampshire's Oldest City
By Richard M Candee
It’s back! After a dozen years, the newly revised and enlarged edition brings a Portsmouth classic back in print. Building Portsmouth has become the operation manual for a city determined to hang on to its architectural heritage. So far, so good. Portsmouth has retained the authentic look and feeling of its 18th and 19th century periods, in the midest of a high tech and tourism revolution.
No single book will tell you more about how Portsmouth got to look the way it looks. Building Portsmouth surveys every major neighborhood and every major building with copious illustrations, photos and floorplans. The new edition ads dozens more visuals. Thanks to the computer skills of Back Channel Press, this bible of buildings looks better than the original. If you own 10 books about Portsmouth this must be one of them. If you only have five, "Building Portsmouth" should be there. If you haven’t fallen in love with Portsmouth yet, start here. -- JDR
From the Publisher:
Elaborate colonial and federal mansions, smaller dwellings of mariners and artisans, handsome Victorian suburbs, and housing for industrial workers are all documented here, illustrated with both modern and historic photographs, maps and drawings. Like the first edition, it will become a key to all those buying or restoring a building anywhere in the city.
Available at Riverrun, Barnes & Noble, Strawbery Banke Visitor Center, Portsmouth Athenaeum and many historic Portsmouth houses
