Abbot-Spalding House
Inscription
Built in 1803–1804, the Abbot-Spalding House exemplifies the Federal and Colonial Revival styles of architecture in Nashua, with the interior featuring fine woodwork and cabinetry. Daniel Abbot, the 'Father of Nashua,' and his family were the original residents. William Spalding, a noted banker and antique dealer, and his family were the last residents.
Spalding and his cabinetmaker son, Dexter, updated the residence with Colonial Revival detailing in the early 20th century. The house was acquired by the Nashua Historical Society in 1978.
