Description |
View of the building known as the Reuben Shapley House at 420 Court on the corner of Court and Atkinson streets, Portsmouth, NH. Owned by Florence A. Brewster, the property was identified as Parcel A-2-4 by the Portsmouth Housing Authority's South End Urban Redevelopment Project. Full report submitted by Reginald P. Kennard on September 28, 1955. An unidentified young assistant (possibly Kennard's son Reginald Jr.) seen at right. Prior to the museum and urban renewal, the house was a private residence and home to Robina Garvin Brewster. According to her grandson, the garage and dormers on the roof were removed during Strawbery Banke's restoration, and the grand staircase inside the front door was also removed in favor of the small extant back staircase. Now known as the Reuben Shapley House, the building is part of Strawbery Banke Museum. Copy image of P0010_027 and comes from the contact sheet P0010_092. Image and report (see link) from MS080 Portsmouth Housing Authority manuscript collection. |
