The Home of Elisha Hutchinson in Milford, New Hampshire, completed about 1785. Photo taken in 1938 by Elizabeth Hayward Hutchinson Patterson, great great granddaughter of Elisha. Elisha was one of the 'Minute Men of Lexington'. He moved thither in 1779, one of the first settlers. He was a carpenter and master builder.
All rooms have large fireplaces.
The only hall is a short hallway across the front of the house, only large enough to permit of stairway to the second floor. The original barn still shelters a dairy herd. There are fine apple orchards on this farm, and from the orchard at the back of the house a wide, sweeping view of the White Mountains is seen. Later Jesse, son of Elisha, lived in this house. Elisha represents the sixth generation in this country.
