Durham House (Goshen, New Hampshire)
Durham House is a historic home on Ball Park Road in Goshen, New Hampshire. Built around 1860, it is part of a group of plank-frame houses built in the area in the 19th century. The house is notable for its Greek Revival doorway and is believed to have been built by James Chandler, a well-known local builder.
The house sits south of Goshen’s village center, at the northwest corner of Ball Park Road and New Hampshire Route 31. It is a 1 1/2-story Cape-style home, about 32 by 24 feet, with a gabled roof and two chimneys. Its walls are made of vertical 3-inch wooden planks held in place with wooden dowels, and it has clapboard siding on the outside.
The front features five openings with windows on either side of a central doorway. The door is six panels with full-length sidelights and is sheltered by a small gabled porch. Shed dormers appear on the front and rear roofs. A garage extends from the left side, and there is a small enclosed porch at the rear. The Durham House is regarded as one of the finest examples of Goshen’s plank-frame houses, and its Greek Revival doorway is a distinctive feature among them.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
