Abbot House

The two-story Abbot House features a symmetrical five-bay facade with brick side walls and a central entrance adorned by four fluted Roman Doric columns.

Daniel Abbot commissioned the construction of this residence in 1804, and William Spaulding acquired it in 1905, introducing Colonial Revival modifications to the structure.

The house stands as a representation of Federal period architecture with later Colonial Revival elements, displaying the evolution of New England residential design through generations.

The Nashua Historical Society maintains this museum property at One Abbot Square, offering visitors access to the preserved interiors through scheduled appointments.

The house contains its original Federal woodwork, including distinctive mantelpieces in both the library and upstairs bedrooms, alongside later Colonial Revival additions.
