Franklin Pierce House

The Franklin Pierce House was a three-story residence in Second Empire style with a mansard roof and brick walls covered in stucco that resembled brownstone construction. The building stood in downtown Concord before being destroyed by fire in 1981.

The residence was constructed in 1852 and served as Franklin Pierce's final home until his death in 1869. The building endured for more than a century before being destroyed by fire.

Het huis toont de verschuiving van Italiaanse architectuurstijlen naar de Second Empire-stijl die in New Hampshire populair werd in de late 19e eeuw. Bezoekers kunnen zien hoe deze architecturale voorkeur lokale gebouwen uit die periode beïnvloedde.

The house was situated on South Main Street in Concord's historic district and was easily accessible on foot. Since the building no longer stands, visitors can only visit the historical site downtown.

The central entrance was topped by a portico supported by fluted square columns. The dormer windows displayed segmented arches with pilaster sides, typical details of the Second Empire style.
