Description and history

The John Richardson Homestead is located in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the west side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) north of Spruce Ridge Drive. It is a 2+12-story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide and two deep, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the main entrance. Although the massing is basically Federal, later alterations including corner pilasters and a center entrance with sidelights give it a Greek Revival feel. There are two interior brick chimneys. Attached to the north end of the building is a single-story brick ell, also with a gabled roof. Outbuildings on the property include a three-car garage and barn. [2]

The house was built c. 1798 by John Richardson, whose brother Abijah built his house further down the road on the same lot. The Richardsons, along with the intermarried Eaton family, were a major presence in this part of Dublin in the 19th century. [2]
