Description
In 1656 Leonard Weeks, the immigrant, received a grant of land in the part of Portsmouth NH known as Greenland. Near a tidal stream on this property his son, Samuel, built in about 1710 a handsome house from bricks made upon the place and laid in the then fashionable Flemish bond. Over thirty-six feet long and twenty-two feet wide, it has ground story walls over eighteen inches thick. The lower story is eight and a half feet high, the upper story is eight feet. The front windows are over-arched in brick. Timbers are oaken beams twelve by fourteen inches and the sleepers with bark left on are ten inches in diameter.
