Federal houses in Portsmouth

Federal architecture is a restrained classical manner with flat wall surfaces, fanlights over the door and delicate ornament around openings and mantels. It was current in the United States roughly from 1780 to 1830.

The stops that carry a construction date run from 1807 to 1835. 11 stops, 1.2 miles end to end.

Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
