Description

The Capt. Richard Strong House is located in eastern Dublin, on the north side of Peterborough Road just east of its junction with Gerry Road. It is a rambling structure with three major sections. The leftmost section, the oldest, is a two-story frame structure with a front-facing brick endwall, otherwise clapboarded exterior, and a hipped roof. The original main entrance is in the brick facade, which is two bays in width with sash windows in most positions. To the east is a 2+12-story wood frame section, with a gabled roof and a porch extending across its five-bay front. At the far eastern end is a three-bay single-story frame section, with what is now the main entrance flanked by picture and bay windows. [2]

Richard Strong, its builder, was prominent in civic affairs, serving as a town selectman, justice of the peace, and state representative. He also built the nearby Richard Strong Cottage. [2]
