Matthew Thornton House, National Historic Landmark in Derry, United States.
The Matthew Thornton House features a square footprint with five bays, incorporating a steep-sloping leanto section on the north side of the structure.
The residence accommodated Matthew Thornton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and physician who practiced medicine in Derry from 1740 to 1779.
The building displays architectural elements from different periods, including Greek Revival details added in the 1800s with wide pilasters and a front entry portico.
The interior follows a center-hall arrangement with four rooms on each floor, while a single-story extension provides modern kitchen facilities.
The house maintains the original colonial layout but received smaller chimneys during nineteenth-century modifications, replacing the initial larger structures.
