Hart-Rice House

The Hart-Rice House, located at 408 The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is a historic Georgian-style home built between 1749 and 1756. This well-preserved structure features a hip roof, clapboard exterior, and original gable dormers. It showcases many Georgian architectural elements, including period paneling around its fireplaces. The house is part of a historic cluster created during a road widening project and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
