HISTORY

The property was nominated for the National Trust 2019 list of “11 Most Endangered Historic Places” based on the NH Division of Historical Resources assessment that Creek Farm is historic enough to qualify for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, because of its owner, architecture and historical connection to the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.

THE ISSUE

The Carey Cottage is facing the threat of demolition -- again -- despite considerable community discussion and proposals for alternative uses. Follow the story from 2000 to today.

 

FAQs

The Society for the Protection of NH Forests, the owner of the Creek Fam property, filed for a permit to demolish the Carey Cottage on March 20, 2019. As of July they were working with a partner to preserve the Cottage but still pursuing the demolition permit.  What's the background and what can you do?
