The Spur House is a historic house off Old Common Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1901, it is a good local example of Colonial Revival architecture, designed by architect Charles A. Platt. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
Description and history
The Spur House is sited on the spur of Beech Hill, overlooking Dublin Pond, and is accessed via a winding drive off Old Common Road. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with symmetrically placed but differently sized windows placed around the main entrance. The entrance is framed by a gabled surround, and one of the upper windows has a rounded top, corresponding in placement to the stairwell inside. The east end of the building has an open porch with pergola, while the west end has a later 20th-century addition and enclosed porch.[2]
The house was designed by Charles A. Platt and built in 1901. It was commissioned by Platt's sister, Mrs. Francis Jencks, for her sister-in-law's family. The Jencks mansion, Beech Hill, is further up the hill, and was also designed by Platt. The two buildings are among a small number of Dublin summer properties attributed to Platt.[2]
