Atlantic Heights Development
Atlantic Heights Development, Historic worker subdivision in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
The Atlantic Heights Development contains over 120 houses, multiple small parks, and a school building across 80 acres of land near downtown Portsmouth.
The United States government funded this residential project with more than one million dollars during World War I to house workers at Atlantic Company Shipyard.
The development features seven different house designs by Kilham & Hopkins architects, representing early 20th-century residential planning and construction methods.
The neighborhood sits between Interstate 95, the Piscataqua River, and the Boston and Maine Railroad tracks, providing multiple transportation access points.
Many original structures remain intact since 1920, including single and two-family homes with period-specific architectural elements and subsequently added garages.
