Cold War Portsmouth: A Snapshot of Life in the 1950s Booklet

2020 / City of Portsmouth and Preservation Company

A social and historical context photo research document of the City of Portsmouth during the mid-twentieth century. This booklet was created as per an agreement between the City of Portsmouth and NH Division of Historic Resources when the federal government transferred the Paul A. Doble Army Reserve Center at 125 Cottage Street to the City for the City's adaptive reuse into a new Senior Activity Center. This historic and photo documentation mitigation effort was funded with Portsmouth Community Development Block Grant Funds.
