Dole–Little House

The Dole–Little House in Newbury, Massachusetts, was built around 1715 for cattleman Richard Dole, partly from materials salvaged from an earlier structure that may have dated to about 1670. Originally a two-room dwelling centered on a chimney with a small rear kitchen shed, it was later altered with a larger lean-to. In 1954, Florence Evans Bushee acquired and restored the house to reflect its early appearance, rebuilding the lean-to and relocating a small-paned sash. One chamber’s original paneling was moved to the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., with a copy returned to the house. After Bushee’s death in 1975, the property passed to Historic New England.
