Description and history

The Luke Richardson House stands in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the south side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of its junction with New Hampshire Route 101. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has an unusually narrow profile, with a two-bay front facade. A single-story porch extends across the front and along one side. An early 20th-century barn stands nearby on the property. [2]

The house was built c. 1820 by Luke Richardson, son of early settler Abijah Richardson, Sr, whose early homestead stands nearby. Luke Richardson operated a gristmill and sawmill on a nearby property, and was instrumental in establishing a Trinitarian Congregational church in Dublin in 1827. Later owners include Charles F. Appleton, who built a hydroelectric facility on Wilder Brook and provided Dublin with its first electric service, and artist Tom Blackwell, who used the barn on the property as his studio. [2]
