Daniel Webster House (built 1785)
High Street, Portsmouth, NH
This early postcard shows the High Street house before it was moved to Strawbery Banke. The cards says Webster lived there from 1813-1817 though the dates show wishful thinking. Webster was in Washington until April 1814 and was on his way to Cambridge by August 1816. The illustration below shows how the house was once attached (left side) to another wing, thus explaining the single hip roof design which looks odd when seen today without the attachment. The house is now on Hancock Street and currently rented to tenants.
