Jenkins House, South side of Dover Road (State Route 4), West of Main Street, Chichester, Merrimack County, NH
Summary
Significance: Significant architecturally as the most extensive and intact early 20th century residential complex along Route 4 in Chichester. It is representative of the type of WWI era suburban house built during a major transitional period in the life of the highway, when horses gave way to the automobile. Its detached two-car garage, a building type then still in its infancy, and shop were designed to complement the house and site. In recent years, Route 4, a major transportation corridor since is was laid out as New Hampshire's first turnpike route, has given way to increasing commercialization, causing rapid physical changes and threatening the existence of residences along its length.
