Summary

Description

The house is open for touring intermittently. It is rather bare inside. The Richard Jackson House in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA, is the oldest surviving wood frame house in New Hampshire or Maine. This National Historic Landmark was built in 1664 by Richard Jackson, a woodworker, farmer, and mariner, on his family's 25 acre plot. Jackson's house resembles English post-medieval prototypes, but is notably American in its extravagant use of wood. Succeeding generations added a lean-to and more rooms to the east to accommodate several different family groups sharing the property at once.

The founder of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA), William Sumner Appleton, acquired the house for SPNEA, now known as Historic New England, in 1924 from a member of the seventh generation of Jacksons to live there.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1968.
