Hampton New Hampshire, in 1841 : 

An Inventory of Houses 

Foreword 

This project began as an effort to make an inventory of the older buildings in the town of Hampton . After 

some consideration, we decided to use the 1841 map as the framework for our inventory, since eac h 

house on the map was labeled with the name of its owner . We would try to document all the building s 

from that map which are still standing . The pages in this book are the result of that effort . 

In attempting to locate the buildings, volunteers researched the houses from the historical source s 

available in the Lane Library and the Historical Society . Dow's "History of Hampton" proved to b e 

invaluable in the identification of the houses, since he had been the major author of the 1841 map . Eac h 

house we found was photographed and briefly described, and, if possible, the names given on the 1806 

and 1892 town maps were listed . The only sure way to identify the early history of an old building is, o f 

course, to research the deeds for the property or to undertake an architectural study . Both of these 

methods were outside the scope of this project and have been left for future research . 

A project like this is never truly finished . Identification errors could occur, despite the best efforts of th e 

researchers, if a building was moved or so completely remodeled that its true date was not recognized . 

In a few cases the identification of the early owner represents an educated guess on the part of th e 

research team. However, all of these buildings have been entered into a database which will allow fo r 

information to be added or edited, thus making it possible to keep the inventory up to date as futur e 

investigation adds to our knowledge of the early buildings of Hampton . 

Many people contributed to this project. Among the surveyors were Scout leaders from Troop 177 an d 

local historians belonging to the Hampton Heritage Commission and the Hampton Historical Society . 

Homeowners and the Hampton Assessor's Office gave additional help which contributed to the historica l 

content of the inventory. Another contributor was Fuji Photo Film U .S.A., Inc. which donated black and 

white film . 

This project is the start of a much larger one to complete a survey of the entire town of Hampton . Thi s 

responsibility is that of the Heritage Commission . As for the future of this project, several features coul d 

be added . One is a booklet of the buildings in the inventory . This document could include buildin g 

inventory sheets, maps, and further historical information . Another idea would be to create a version o f 

the database to be distributed to the library and other organizations that do not have the specific softwar e 

used to create the original work. This effort would allow a wider availability of the collected information .
