Abijah Richardson Sr. Homestead

The Abijah Richardson Sr. Homestead is located in a rural setting of northeastern Dublin, on the west side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) about 0.2 miles (0.32 km) north of its junction with Spring Street. It is a 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade has five bays on the first floor and three on the second, arranged symmetrically around the main entrance. It has a broad cornice and simple corner pilasters, suggestive of a 19th-century addition of Greek Revival touches. An ell extends to the rear, connecting the house to a shed and barn that are of late 18th or early 19th-century construction.[2]

The house was built c. 1795 by Abijah Richardson, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who moved here from Woburn, Massachusetts, first living in a log structure that stood nearby. When built it had basic late Georgian/early Federal styling; the current Greek Revival features were probably added by Richardson's son Malachi. The house was in the Richardson family until 1968. A number of other 19th-century Richardson family properties survive in the area.[2]
