Description

TITLE Dunbar House, Keene NH

CREATOR

SUBJECT Houses - NH - Keene Homes - NH - Keene Restaurants - NH - Keene

DESCRIPTION This large house on Main Street was built in 1785 by Asa Dunbar on a lot which had been the most northerly of the house lots when Upper Ashuelot was laid out in 1733. Asa, formerly a minister from Salem Mass., became a lawyer in Keene the same year the house was built. He died in 1787 at age 41 and was the town clerk at that time. His wife Mary supported her five small children by opening the house as a tavern. Her youngest child, Cynthia, born in this house, became the mother of Henry David Thoreau. The house was at times a boarding house, a lunch business frequented by Rudyard Kipling, the Crystal Restaurant, and for many years was a restaurant called Henry Davids. It is now Margueritas, a Mexican restaurant.
