Cottages

Early houses on North Beach north of Plaice Cove, ca. 1918. From left: Herman Smith's bathhouse, which had three lockers and was built ca. 1903 and which was later removed and used for the trolley station ["Portsmsouth Junction", then moved back again; Josiah Clark Bennett's bathhouse, built in July 1898 and probably the first house on this section of the beach, Donald A. Chase house, and houses of W. H. Brown and Captain Newcomb. No data on the others to the right. The bathhouses were used by their owners during the day for changing clothes and having lunch, but they would then return to a dwelling elsewhere for the night. Bennett's house was on Exeter Road, the home of the late Baron William Frary von Blomberg.
