Asa Morse Farm
Dublin, NH, listed on the NRHP in New Hampshire
The Asa Morse Farm, also known as the Friendly Farm, is a historic farmstead on New Hampshire Route 101 in Dublin, New Hampshire. The main farmhouse, built in 1926 on the foundations of an early 19th-century house, is a good example of Colonial Revival architecture, built during Dublin's heyday as a summer retreat. The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
Description and history
The Asa Morse Farm is located a short way west of Dublin Pond, on the south side of NH 101 east of its junction with MacVeagh Road. The farm complex includes the main house, barn, and cottage. All three buildings were constructed in 1926, the house upon the foundation of the early 19th-century farmhouse of Asa Morse. It was built for Frederick Brewster as part of his summer estate and gentleman's farm, which he had established on a farm-estate property first developed as a summer estate in 1889. The property was revived as an agricultural property in the 1960s; the cottage now serves as a chicken house.
The farmhouse is a modest but well-executed example of Colonial Revival architecture. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior.

Why this record matters
“Asa Morse Farm” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Morse, Farm and Dublin provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16888282. Authority coordinates are 42.913, -72.094. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1926, 1983 and 1889.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
