Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion, Colonial mansion in Portsmouth, United States.
The forty-room clapboard residence stands near Little Harbor, featuring multiple architectural sections combined into a single substantial waterfront structure.
Governor Benning Wentworth established this mansion in 1741 as his residence and administrative center when New Hampshire separated from Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The mansion holds a council chamber and spy closet that demonstrate colonial governmental practices and social structures of eighteenth-century New Hampshire.
While the mansion remains closed for tours during 2024, visitors can access the grounds and 1.5-mile Little Harbor Loop Trail from dawn to dusk.
Purple lilacs growing on the property descend from the first European lilac plants imported to North America by Governor Wentworth.
