Carey Cottage
The Arthur Astor Carey summer house or “Creek Farm” was designed by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow for Arthur Astor Carey. Construction began on the structure in 1887 with at least four major architectural phases of construction completed before 1900.
The house is an outstanding representative of the summer home movement in New Hampshire, a rare survivor of an artistic summer colony at Little Harbor, Portsmouth, and is significant for its associations with both Arthur Astor Carey (1857-1923) and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr. (1854-1934).
