Located in the historic South End of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Wentworth-Gardner and Tobias Lear Houses are adjacent to each other on Mechanic and Hunking Streets. Both houses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The houses date from the mid-1700's and are classic examples of Georgian architecture. Tours are given to the public, from June through October each year.
The Wentworth-Gardner and Tobias Lear Houses Association is dedicated to preserving its structures, protecting and enhancing the collections, maintaining the surrounding grounds and waterfront, and promoting a public appreciation of these resources.
