Summary

[edit]
Description

Seen on the walking tour of Portsmouth. The Treadwell Jenness House is located at 93 Pleasant Street, on the northeast corner of Pleasant and Court Streets.


After the death of Robert Treadwell, an affluent Portsmouth merchant, his widow built this mansion in 1818. Construction of the house complied with the 1814 Brick Act that required every new building in downtown Portsmouth over one story high to be built of bricks. The controversial Brick Act was a legislative measure meant to prevent another devastating "Great Fire of Portsmouth".

When Richard Jenness moved to Portsmouth in 1829, his family and descendants lived in this home for a number of years. A successful hardware merchant, Jenness later went into politics. He served as a N. H. State Representative from 1838 – 1841, Navy Agent for the district from 1845 – 1849, and N. H. State Senator from 1849 – 1851. He also served as Mayor of Portsmouth in 1856.
