  • Digging a Family's Life
    Vol. 14 No. 1. Issue 28 HCR 77, Box 8350, Chadbourne's Ridge, North Waterborough, Maine 04061 Winter 1996 ISSN 0741-0360 DIGGING A FAMILY'S LIFE The most exciting occurrence for members of The CFA is the new archaeological dig being conducted on the Humphrey Chadbourne homestead in South Berwick. In case any of you have missed the story, the site of the homestead was found by accident by Tad Baker and Brad Fletcher the summer of 1995, in an open field in South Berwick. Upon tentative investigation, they found it to be the site of the first home of Humphrey2 Chadbourne, built in the middle of the 17th century. Having burned in place after being in existence for perhaps 40 years it is proving to be an excellent source of information about life on the Maine frontier in the 1600s. It is not only well preserved, but is, perhaps, one of the largest and wealthiest homesteads available for study. This has all been verified by Tad and Brad and their studies of deeds and wills and certainly is verified by what we were able to record in our book about this family. It gives us the added Key and scissors from the Chadbourne dig information that maybe an Indian raid was the cause of the burning of the house, almost a mansion. The family play have blade or a chain used in the lumbering industry, it may take retired to Sturgeon Creek to take safety in the home of son James $400.00 to preserve such pieces. That is why they have to go or maybe moved in with neighbors or relatives for some time.

  • Report on the Dennett House Traditionally Called “The Beehive” 73 Prospect Street Portsmouth, New Hampshire November 26, 2017
    REPORT ON THE DENNETT HOUSE TRADITIONALLY CALLED “THE BEEHIVE” 73 PROSPECT STREET PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE NOVEMBER 26, 2017 ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION JAMES L. GARVIN FARRINGTON HOUSE 30 South Main Street · Building 1, Suite 201 · Concord, New Hampshire, 03301 [email protected] [email protected] http://www.james-garvin.com Dennett “Beehive”, South (Front) and East (Side) Elevations Courtesy of the Portsmouth Athenaeum, Portsmouth, N.H., with permission of the author. 1 Summary: This report is based on an inspection of the Dennett House, traditionally called “the Beehive,” on November 13, 2017. The purpose of the inspection was to observe and identify the character- defining features of the dwelling. Of special interest were the longstanding beliefs that the house dates from 1680 (or other attributed dates in the late seventeenth century), that it is one of the two oldest surviving buildings on Christian Shore and therefore one of the oldest buildings in Portsmouth, and that its walls are constructed of “solid square timbers.” The latter assertion would suggest that the building began its existence as a log-walled structure of a type first documented in Portsmouth in a meeting house built near the South Mill Dam in 1659. The inspection of November 13th was made possible through the courtesy of Mr. Glenn Walker of Ten Walker Street Realty, LLC, owners of the property. Inspection of the house revealed that the existing structure dates from the first half of the eighteenth century, and that it was a large dwelling for its period. It has a frame of a type that is now represented by few surviving examples but that seems to have been a standard type for large, two-room-deep central-chimney dwellings from the late seventeenth century until the 1720s, and perhaps later.
