Rarely open to the public, the Tobias Lear House in Portsmoutth, NEw Hampshire was built in 1740. Because the house is so rarely open to the public, SeacoastNH.com asked former board member and photographer Frank Clarkson for an inside view. To see the captions, hold your mouse over the photograph. For more on the Tobias Lear House contact the Wentworth-Gardner and Tobias Lear Association. Following are 12 original images on three web pages. -- JDR
