Neighborhoods Streets Photographs Description An account of the resource The Higgins Family Photograph Collection consists of over 300 digital images primarily taken in the late 1800s through the first half of the 20th century. The images capture the everyday moments as well as the celebratory occasions of a family living in Portsmouth’s South End neighborhood. The original photographs come from the collection of Kathryn (Casey) Higgins (b. 1882). She is credited with the photography of much of the collection. The photos were provided to the library by the late J. Robert (Bob) Shouse, son of Elizabeth Higgins and V. Allen Shouse, and grandson of Kathryn. The Higgins family has lived in Portsmouth since the early 1900s when Dr. Martin Andrew Higgins (1883-1953) moved to Pleasant Street and began work as a physician and surgeon. Dr. Higgins was born in 1883 in Somersworth, New Hampshire to Andrew Higgins and Bridget Hanagan. He received his education at the University of Maryland Medical School. On July 12, 1913, Dr. Higgins married Kathryn Casey in Amesbury, Massachusetts, where Kathryn’s family lived. Her parents were Patrick Casey and Mary Burke, both immigrants from Northern Ireland. Kathryn and Dr. Higgins moved into 249 Pleasant Street in Portsmouth, a house that was built in 1900. It was here that they would raise their two daughters, Margaret “Peggy” (Higgins) Haid (1918-2012) and Elizabeth Martina “Betty” (Higgins) Shouse (1920-1997), and where Elizabeth and her husband Veazey Allen Shouse (1920-2002) would stay and raise their ten children. Both Peggy and Betty are the subjects of many of the photos. Also prominently featured in the photos is Delia “Dede” (Casey) Hassett (1868-1960), Kathryn’s sister. Delia was married to Joseph Martin Hassett (1869-1925), proprietor of Hassett’s Music and Art Shoppe located at 115 Congress Street. Joseph and Delia had three children – Ruth Hassett DeCourcy, Loretta Hassett Slawson, and John “Jack” Hassett, who can all be seen in several of the images.

Title A name given to the resource Haven School Neighborhood Project Description An account of the resource Puddle Dock and the South End are the oldest neighborhoods in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was settled in 1623. The first school building in Portsmouth was built and opened in 1713 and was located close to the site that would become the Haven School in 1846. When it opened, Haven School contained four graded schools: infant, primary, intermediate, and grammar. In 1969, Little Harbour School was built to replace Haven School. In 1978, the Haven School’s brick building was turned into condominiums. The Haven School Neighborhood consists of the South End and Puddle Dock areas. Strawbery Banke Museum now occupies the space once known as Puddle Dock. The Haven School Neighborhood is central to all that has happened in Portsmouth since its settlement. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of this neighborhood is at the core of the history of the entire city. Whether the focus is settlement, revolution, maritime activity, economic decline, revitalization, or even acculturation, the Haven School Neighborhood provides the core for study. Library staff have endeavored to make the Haven School Neighborhood Project public to increase access to this important collection and to the history of the neighborhood. The members of this community within a community, past and present, have a story to tell and the nature of that community has dramatically changed. The core of this collection was scanned from photo albums of historic images of people and places from Portsmouth’s South End; created from the history and stories contributed by the people who lived there. The subjects include the South End neighborhood, Puddle Dock neighborhood, and Haven School alumni and span the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. These photographs were gathered in 1982 as part of a reunion of the Puddle Dock area (also known as the Haven School neighborhood for the purposes of this project). Copies of the resulting photo albums were given to Portsmouth Public Library following the Reunion.

Title A name given to the resource Haven School Neighborhood Project Description An account of the resource Puddle Dock and the South End are the oldest neighborhoods in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was settled in 1623. The first school building in Portsmouth was built and opened in 1713 and was located close to the site that would become the Haven School in 1846. When it opened, Haven School contained four graded schools: infant, primary, intermediate, and grammar. In 1969, Little Harbour School was built to replace Haven School. In 1978, the Haven School’s brick building was turned into condominiums. The Haven School Neighborhood consists of the South End and Puddle Dock areas. Strawbery Banke Museum now occupies the space once known as Puddle Dock. The Haven School Neighborhood is central to all that has happened in Portsmouth since its settlement. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of this neighborhood is at the core of the history of the entire city. Whether the focus is settlement, revolution, maritime activity, economic decline, revitalization, or even acculturation, the Haven School Neighborhood provides the core for study. Library staff have endeavored to make the Haven School Neighborhood Project public to increase access to this important collection and to the history of the neighborhood. The members of this community within a community, past and present, have a story to tell and the nature of that community has dramatically changed. The core of this collection was scanned from photo albums of historic images of people and places from Portsmouth’s South End; created from the history and stories contributed by the people who lived there. The subjects include the South End neighborhood, Puddle Dock neighborhood, and Haven School alumni and span the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. These photographs were gathered in 1982 as part of a reunion of the Puddle Dock area (also known as the Haven School neighborhood for the purposes of this project). Copies of the resulting photo albums were given to Portsmouth Public Library following the Reunion. Former residents have also generously contributed additional photographs and documents to our digital archive project.

Title A name given to the resource Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Strawbery Banke Slide Collection Subject The topic of the resource Portsmouth (N.H.) Strawbery Banke, Inc. Slides (Photography) Gardens Description An account of the resource English colonists established a settlement in Portsmouth in 1623 and called it “Strawbery Banke.” This area of Portsmouth, which came to be known as Puddle Dock, has cultural and historical importance to the city. In order to help tell the story of the area, Strawbery Banke Museum was developed in 1958, following urban renewal efforts that demolished much of Puddle Dock and the South End. Today, Strawbery Banke Museum sits on 10 acres of land and is home to 32 historic buildings. The 29 slides in this collection depict scenes from Portsmouth and Strawbery Banke Museum, including several historic houses and street views. They offer a unique view into the early years at Strawbery Banke Museum, prior to many of the houses' restoration efforts.

Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Portsmouth and the Seacoast, NH. Description An account of the resource This collection of 400+ postcards, depicting buildings and scenes of Portsmouth and the Seacoast area, was donated to the Portsmouth Public Library by the family of Louis J. Mackles in May of 2015. It was given specifically by Ross A. Moldoff, Gloria F. Moldoff and Harold Moldoff, who felt the collection should be made available for study and enjoyment. The rehousing of the physical collection into archival albums was made possible by the Moldoffs as well. Mr. Mackles collected postcards throughout his life. This collection, only a small portion of a much larger number, left behind for family and friends to enjoy, is an interesting historic journey through the Seacoast. Some buildings depicted are long gone while multiple postcards of the same building show the progression of time. Postcards (aka "post cards") became popular at the turn of the 20th Century, after being introduced to the U.S. during the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Used primarily for sending short messages to friends and relatives, people collected them immediately as mementos of a trip or journey, historical events, holidays, etc. They were sold to tourists and often advertised local businesses. Individuals created real photograph postcards to send home to relatives when travelling abroad as well. Immigrants to the U.S. often had photos taken when they arrived at their destination to send home to their native countries. DELTIOLOGY is the hobby of collecting postcards according to Merriam-Webster, but more broadly it is considered the collection, study, and preservation of picture postcards for fun, recreation, relaxation, and enjoyment – and for the historical preservation of life in years past [As described by the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors http://www.aape.org/collectingpicturepostcardsver17jul.asp]. The Mackles collection was primarily published in the U.S. and Germany and contains many different types of postcards. The standard photo cards, printed and colored or tinted cards, several fold-out strips which became popular in the 1950’s, as well as miniature postcards. Major Louis J. Mackles, USAR (Born in Brownsville, Texas, October 4, 1923. Died at Pease Air Force Base, September 6, 1987) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Excerpted from obituary in the Portsmouth Herald, September 8, 1987: ‘…Maj. Mackles attended A&M and UNH, receiving a master’s degree with high honors in chemical engineering. He served in the Philippines during World War II, retiring as a major in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. He retired after 30 years as head of the Radiation Control branch of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard working with Adm. Rickover. Maj. Mackles was a consultant for L.P.I. Engineering in Dover until April 1987. He was a member of Temple Israel, NARFE, Wentworth and Pease Golf Club, the National Association of Technical Supervisors and the Registered Maine State Board of Professional Engineers…’ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ His family kindly provided a copy of the eulogy given in his honor, transcribed as follows: Eulogy for Louis Mackles – Label ben Yudel U’Miriam – d. 9/6/87: 12 Elul We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of Louis Mackles, Label ben Yudel u Miriam, and to speak about his life. Lou, as everyone called him, was born October 4, 1923, the second of two sons, to Idel and Mary Mackles, in Brownsville, TX, and grew up in Galveston, TX. As a young man, he attended Texas A & M for two years. In 1942, when the U.S. entered WWII, he enlisted in the Army. After achieving the rank of Corporal, he was sent to Officers Candidates School in New England. In 1944, before being sent overseas, Lou and his fellow Jewish soldiers attended services at Temple Israel of Portsmouth. Then Rabbi Oscar Fleishaker had urged his congregant families to welcome the Jewish soldiers, and so it was that Lou met Charlotte, the girl he was to marry. Lou was commissioned a second Lt. and sent to the Philippines. During an enemy attack, Lou Mackles, despite being wounded himself, saved the life of a wounded comrade, and refused to leave his men. In addition to his wounds, he developed pneumonia from exposure and might have died, had friendly natives not taken him to an Army field hospital – a three-day journey on foot. Army doctors saved his life. Lou was awarded a Bronze Star for bravery under fire. He also gained a lifelong respect and love for the Army, and it was his wish, in the last days of his life, to be treated in a military hospital, this time at Pease Air Force Base. Following the war, Lou served in the Army Reserves, finally retiring with the rank of Major. After his discharge at the war’s end, Lou married Charlotte in Boston on Jan.1, 1946. He then attended the University of NH, attaining his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering, becoming a professional engineer licensed in both NH and Maine. Son Glenn was born during this period. Then followed a 3-year stint in Wash., DC, where Lou worked for the Bureau of Standards. Thereafter, the family settled permanently in Portsmouth, where daughter Linda was born. Lou took a job at the Navy Yard, where he spent approximately 35 years, working his way up to head of the Radiation Division, building nuclear submarines. Lou was part of the team that produced the Albacore, among other submarines, he served under the legendary Adm. Hyman Rickover. During his years at the yard, he was honored by being asked to present a gold plate to the sponsor of a nuclear sub – which Navy Yard personnel regarded as the highest honor attainable. But more importantly, Lou was well-respected and liked greatly by his colleagues at work, many of whom stayed in touch over the years. It is symbolic of how well-liked he was that old service buddies and friends from work would stay in touch. When Lou became ill, friends would often call the family to find out how he was doing. About 10 years ago, Lou retired from the Yard and worked as a consultant for a private engineering firm in Dover. What sort of man was Lou Mackles? Though I myself arrived in Portsmouth only during the last months of his life, I have the testimony of those who knew and loved him. His family and friends can testify that he was a quiet, soft-spoken man who never said an unkind word about anyone else. I can tell you that he loved children, and was happy to serve as Scoutmaster in a boy scout troop when his children were young. But is more of an eloquent tribute to his memory that, when the little boy who lived across the way from the Mackles was told of Lou’s death, he burst into tears. Lou worked hard, often putting in 18-hours days at the Yard, but he was devoted to his family as well. He was proud of his children’s accomplishments, and loved them unquestioningly. He was also especially close to his nieces and nephews, and was godfather to many of them. As for hobbies, Lou was especially good with his hands. He enjoyed gardening, photography, furniture finishing, and working around the house. He himself did much of the work on the home which he and Charlotte built on Moebus Drive. Golf was a great love, as well. But Lou’s sense of involvement went beyond job, family and hobbies. Having been raised in a traditional family, he retained a strong respect for Judaism, leading him to become an active member of Temple Israel. He served on the Religious Committee, volunteered as an usher on the High Holidays, and helped run the bingo program. Even when he became ill, he refused to take his medicine on Yom Kippur, preferring to fast completely. When, 6 years ago, Lou discovered he had cancer, he determined to fight it. Recalling his WWII bout with combat wounds and pneumonia, he said, “I was supposed to be a goner in the Philippines, but God gave me 40 more good years.” He fought with courage and determination that serve as an example to us all. Lou was a quiet man who never complained, who did not wish to be a burden on anyone. But he was a fighter to the end, a self-made man who loved life, who loved people, who made every minute count of the years he was given. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him. Our religion speaks of the resurrection of the righteous dead. It is one of the most fundamental beliefs of our faith, but one of the most difficult to comprehend. I myself believe that our resurrection depends, not only upon the grade of God, but on the memories we leave our friends and loved ones. Anyone who touched as many lives as did Lou Mackles will surely merit resurrection and eternal life. He will be deeply missed. __________________________________________________________________________________________ This collection was digitized by Jessica Ross with volunteer help by Wynn Welch, Spring/Summer 2016.

Title A name given to the resource Haven School Neighborhood Project Description An account of the resource Puddle Dock and the South End are the oldest neighborhoods in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was settled in 1623. The first school building in Portsmouth was built and opened in 1713 and was located close to the site that would become the Haven School in 1846. When it opened, Haven School contained four graded schools: infant, primary, intermediate, and grammar. In 1969, Little Harbour School was built to replace Haven School. In 1978, the Haven School’s brick building was turned into condominiums. The Haven School Neighborhood consists of the South End and Puddle Dock areas. Strawbery Banke Museum now occupies the space once known as Puddle Dock. The Haven School Neighborhood is central to all that has happened in Portsmouth since its settlement. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of this neighborhood is at the core of the history of the entire city. Whether the focus is settlement, revolution, maritime activity, economic decline, revitalization, or even acculturation, the Haven School Neighborhood provides the core for study. Library staff have endeavored to make the Haven School Neighborhood Project public to increase access to this important collection and to the history of the neighborhood. The members of this community within a community, past and present, have a story to tell and the nature of that community has dramatically changed. The core of this collection was scanned from photo albums of historic images of people and places from Portsmouth’s South End; created from the history and stories contributed by the people who lived there. The subjects include the South End neighborhood, Puddle Dock neighborhood, and Haven School alumni and span the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. These photographs were gathered in 1982 as part of a reunion of the Puddle Dock area (also known as the Haven School neighborhood for the purposes of this project). Copies of the resulting photo albums were given to Portsmouth Public Library following the Reunion. Former residents have also generously contributed additional photographs and documents to our digital archive project. Comments have been, and continue to be, added via the commenting feature available with each image. This project was made possible by a group of volunteers from the Haven School Neighborhood. Special thanks to Sherm and Cathy Pridham who scanned the majority of these images and provided background information including names, dates, and locations. Images and memories will be added to the project as appropriate over time.

Library staff have endeavored to make the Haven School Neighborhood Project public to increase access to this important collection and to the history of the neighborhood. The members of this community within a community, past and present, have a story to tell and the nature of that community has dramatically changed. The core of this collection was scanned from photo albums of historic images of people and places from Portsmouth’s South End; created from the history and stories contributed by the people who lived there. The subjects include the South End neighborhood, Puddle Dock neighborhood, and Haven School alumni and span the late-19th to mid-20th centuries. These photographs were gathered in 1982 as part of a reunion of the Puddle Dock area (also known as the Haven School neighborhood for the purposes of this project). Copies of the resulting photo albums were given to Portsmouth Public Library following the Reunion. Former residents have also generously contributed additional photographs and documents to our digital archive project. Comments have been, and continue to be, added via the commenting feature available with each image. This project was made possible by a group of volunteers from the Haven School Neighborhood. Special thanks to Sherm and Cathy Pridham who scanned the majority of these images and provided background information including names, dates, and locations. Images and memories will be added to the project as appropriate over time.

Title A name given to the resource Haven School Neighborhood Project Description An account of the resource Puddle Dock and the South End are the oldest neighborhoods in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which was settled in 1623. The first school building in Portsmouth was built and opened in 1713 and was located close to the site that would become the Haven School in 1846. When it opened, Haven School contained four graded schools: infant, primary, intermediate, and grammar. In 1969, Little Harbour School was built to replace Haven School. In 1978, the Haven School’s brick building was turned into condominiums. The Haven School Neighborhood consists of the South End and Puddle Dock areas. Strawbery Banke Museum now occupies the space once known as Puddle Dock. The Haven School Neighborhood is central to all that has happened in Portsmouth since its settlement.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Haven Foster Views of Portsmouth Description An account of the resource The Portsmouth Public Library’s Special Collections Room holds several albums containing nearly 1000 individual Sarah Haven Foster watercolors. These were painted locally and during travels abroad. They depict a wide array of buildings, landscapes, and wild flowers. Most of the images are painted in miniature, some as small as postage stamps. Sarah Haven Foster (1827-1900), was the daughter of John Welsh Foster (1789-1852) and Mary (Appleton) Foster. She had one sister, Mary Appleton Foster, and one brother, Joseph H. Foster. John Welsh Foster was a prominent member of the Portsmouth community. He was a bookseller and printer, Deacon of the South Meeting House, a Portsmouth Athenaeum founder, school committee member, on the board of selectmen, and incorporator of the Portsmouth Savings Bank. His businesses dealt with printing, book selling and bookbinding. His success allowed his daughters the opportunity to make summer trips to Europe. Sarah and her sister Mary lived in Europe from 1886-1890. On those trips Sarah produced approximately 600 watercolors depicting buildings and landscapes in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, England, Scotland, and Wales. Aside from a bit of correspondence found in the collection of the Portsmouth Athenaeum, little is known of Sarah Haven Foster’s life. Record of her public life is nearly non-existent. She was a member of the Unitarian Church. By all accounts she was shy and did not like public attention. No known likenesses of Sarah have been found. A 2013 publication entitled Portsmouth Women: Madams & Matriarchs Who Shaped New Hampshire’s Port City, edited by Laura Pope, includes a chapter on Sarah Haven Foster written by Maryellen Burke and illustrated with images from the Library’s collection. As explained in this chapter, the Foster family was involved in many benevolent and community building activities. It is likely that Mary, Sarah’s sister, deposited her paintings at the Public Library because of her involvement with the founding of the library, and their shared support of the institution throughout their lives. Sarah Haven Foster published two books, Watchwords for Young Soldiers, a volume of children’s Bible stories published in 1864, and The Portsmouth Guide Book, published in 1876 by her brother, Joseph H. Foster. In August 19, 1900, at the age of 74, Sarah was the victim of the first fatal accident on the Portsmouth Electric Railroad. The day was warm and extra cars were running to and from the beach. Reports claimed that the cars were running late and were going "at a good rate, though not a reckless one". She stepped out after waiting for a car to pass, but an extra car following hit her. She had been heading home from the Lyman residence. She died later that day of her sustained injuries. She was 74 years old. Foster is buried in Proprietors' cemetery. Views of Portsmouth In this album, Foster captures her fondness for the Portsmouth of old. Her realistic and gentle paintings capture a slightly ideal view of Portsmouth. These 174 miniature paintings are mounted and bound in a single volume entitled “Sketches of Portsmouth”. Collectively, they represent a view of mid-19th century Portsmouth and its environs unlike anything else we are aware of. It includes 34 paintings of buildings in Portsmouth (at last count, 14 of the Portsmouth buildings depicted are still standing). Also included are landscapes and buildings from York, New Castle, Newington, Kittery, Gerrish Island and the Isles of Shoals. Although in miniature, as you browse through this collection, you will notice Foster’s attention to detail, particularly in the architectural features. After more than a century, the colors remain brilliant and the condition of most of this collection is quite good. The provenance of this volume is somewhat uncertain; however, Library reports indicate that Sarah’s sister, Mary Appleton Foster, gave her sister’s painting albums to the Public Library between 1900 and 1903. Mary Appleton Foster was a Civil War Nurse in the 1862-1865. In 1871, with Reverend James De Normandie (Unitarian minister) and others she helped to establish the Young People’s Union, which collected books and loaned them to Portsmouth’s youth. In 1874, the Union ceased, and in 1880 Mary Foster conceived of the idea to loan these books to the public. She and others created the library in the Custom house which opened January 1, 1881. After several moves, eventually, in 1896, a library was established in the "Portsmouth Academy" building. The Library has addressed some of this album’s conservation needs in recent years through generous funding provided by a New Hampshire Moose Plate Grant. Deborah Mayer, local paper conservator, stabilized the album and re-housed individual fascicles in non-acidic enclosures, also enabling safe handling for digitization.
