Hewitt house enfield new hampshire top 7 facts
The Hewitt House is a historic house on United States Route 4 in Enfield, New Hampshire. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built in 1871 by John W. Dodge, manager of the locally important Shaker-owned woolen mills. The Italianate house is an elegant reflection of Enfield's period of great prosperity in the years after the American Civil War. It remained in the hands of Dodge's descendants for over a century (the last being Robert Hewitt). The house is three bays wide and two deep, with a gabled roof that has paired brackets in the eaves. The front facade is symmetrical about the main entrance, with paired windows in each bay on the second floor, and projecting polygonal bay windows on the ground floor. The bay window roofs and the front entry portico are covered by shallow-pitch roofs with brackets matching those in the main roof line.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and included in the Enfield Village Historic District in 2010.
