Hill-Woodman-Ffrost House (also known as the Three Chimneys Inn - ffrost Sawyer Tavern) in Durham, New Hampshire is purportedly one of the oldest buildings in the State of New Hampshire [1] and is located within the Durham Historic District. The owners claim that it "has an ell that is believed to date to 1649." [2] The building is currently a hotel known as the Three Chimneys Inn-Ffrost Sawyer Tavern.
In 1649 Valentine Hill built a home north of the Oyster River near his mill. The tavern's back ell is alleged by the owners to be Hill's original house, with later additions made by Nathaniel Hill around 1680. In 1694 the house survived a Native American attack which destroyed many of the buildings in the area. Jonathan Woodman eventually inherited the property from his Hill family members; he deeded it to George Frost at some point after 1796, and the Frost family owned it until the 1980s. [3]

The Seacoast Region is the southeast area of the U.S. state of New Hampshire that is centered around the city of Portsmouth. It includes the eastern portion of Rockingham County and the southern portion of Strafford County. At its narrowest definition, the region stretches 13 miles (21 km) along the Atlantic Ocean from New Hampshire's border with Salisbury, Massachusetts, to the Piscataqua River and New Hampshire's border with Kittery, Maine. The shoreline alternates between rocky and rough headlands and areas with sandy beaches. Some of the beaches are bordered by jetties or groins, particularly in the towns of Rye and Hampton. Most definitions of the Seacoast Region includes some inland towns as well, including the Great Bay area cities of Dover and Rochester, the college town of Durham, and areas as far west as Epping. Some definitions also include nearby portions of York County, Maine that are culturally aligned with the Portsmouth area rather than the Portland, Maine metropolitan area.
