4 Foster Place Claremont NH History

There really is a lot of history in Claremont.  At the turn of the Century the area was one of the largest Woolen Mill areas in the country.  The stately homes that line the street of both Claremont and Newport are witness to that fact.  The house I just listed is full of history waiting for its new owners.  The present owners have done some interesting research on the property worth taking a look.  This would be a great family compound.

Here are some informative links to Joseph Steinfield and his book “Claremont Boy”.  A signed copy of the book was left in the dining room.

Other Information:

 

The house was built turn of the century by Thomas Fry.  The three houses were owned by three sisters whose father had given them the land; the Fosters, Freemans and Frys.  The Steinfields purchased the home from the Fry’s.  

 

Mr. Steinfield wrote the attached article for the Manchester Union Leader which I think you will find very amusing.  The street used to be called Edgewood Circle before we had to change the name when the city went to 911 upgrade.  The name Foster was chosen because Mr. Foster (brown house) had done a lot for the city.
