American House

...by the 1840's the Franklin Square area boasted the railroad, hence there was a veritable boom in hotel building at this time. The hotels in the area differed in both size and style. The most famous, and most successful, was the American House on Main Street. Established in 1853, the American House was a landmark of Franklin Square... Throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th, the American House enjoyed remarkable success. It was, however, torn down about 1960 and replaced with a motel. dover.nh.gov
