EARLY NEW ENGLAND ARCHI-
lecture.

lecture.
Hardly twenty houses in all New
England dating back of 100 are yet in
existence, unless in materially trans
formed condition. At best the most of
them We're very rough, boxs shaped,
with a door in one side and a high
pitched roof, to make the snow slide off
easily, and chimney of prodigious
size. A few years ago the great chin
ney of the house at Boscawen where
General John A. Dix was born was
torn down and found to contain one
hundred and fifty thousand of brick
The chimney of the Darling house in
this town, destroyed about the same
time, was about as large. Its removal
provided the house with good sized
additional room. Almost all the sew
enteenth century houses We're wooden,
though about the Oldest structure in
New England was built of stone at
Guilford, Conn, in or near 1898. Exc
ter's oldest, the Darling house, is about
ten or eleven years younger. Exeter
had only three brick houses dating far
back into the eighteenth century, and
| now has only two if they still can be
| called brick after being covered with
! wood and receiving large wooden ex-
| tensions. These are the Peavy house,
| on the Newmarket road, and the old
| house off Water street built by Ma
thaniel Iadd Both We're erected be-
tween 1920 and 1880, the Peavy house,
Of which James Gilman was the build
er, replacing an older structure which
| had been burned. The very pictur-
esque bennett Gilman house, brick
structure with gambrei roof, which
| stood about where the Amos Tuck house
| now stands, was torn down about sixty
years ago The block near the Great
| Bridge is Of nineteenth century origin,
having been built by Major Simeon
| Folsom about 1918.
Dwelling house architecture first be-
came q really fine art in New England
during the flush times which inter-
vened between Wolfe's capture of Que
bee in 1859 and the Revolutionary out
| break of 1775. 1t was then that the older
of the stately mansions of Portsmouth
| anu NC" Jul pOIl were Vlttltu I'VE
| war pretty effectively stopped house
building but by 1900 prosperity had re-
turned, and New England ship-owners
became very rich. The house-building
| mania broke out again in the form of
| those great, square, three-story houses
of which Exeter has few and of which
Salem, Newburyport and Portsmouth
are full. The magnates of 1SOO-10 dis
liked gambrel roofs, and had no pa
thence with hooks and passages. They
We're plain, downright and utilitarian
men. and they built houses as square as
| themselves, with no nonsense about
| them, except perhaps the usually su-
| pertiuous third story. Were these
worthless to return to earth they might
| appreciate the many modern improve
ments which have been introduced in
architecture, but they would be pretty
sure to repudiate with scorn the adorn-
ments for which poor Queen Anne has
been held esponsible.-Exeter IN. h
