With a construction history dating to the early 19th century, it is an architecturally important example of how traveler accommodations changed in rural New Hampshire in the 19th century. The inn has been identified as "The Birchwood" since 1892, and was the town's only public accommodation for most of the 19th century.[2] The building, still in use as a restaurant and inn, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] Description and historyThe Birchwood Inn is located in Temple's central village, on the east side of NH 45, at its junction with General Miller Highway. Its main building is a 2½ story, roughly rectangular, brick and wood frame structure. The front half of the building, its five-bay width and about half of each side wall, are faced in brick, while the rear of the block is framed in wood and sheathed in clapboards. A single-story porch extends across the front and wraps around the sides, supported by chamfered square columns. Walls on some of its interior spaces were painted by muralist Rufus Porter, and it retains a well-preserved period taproom. This block is connected by an ell to a barn-like structure (built c. 1847-48), which was used for stabling horses on the ground level and has a large open hall above.[2] The early construction history of the building is not known. Based on its style, the inn was built during the Federal period (roughly 1790-1830), and has served as a center of hospitality ever since. The building has historically been used for town meetings and other civic and social events, serving as the town post office and general store. The expansion in 1847-48 made it possible to expand the establishment's entertainment offerings, with a sprung wooden floor in the second-floor ballroom. The front porch was added in 1892, when it was purchased by new owners and converted into a boarding house catering to tourists. Its amenities were further updated in the 1930s to include inside plumbing and electricity.[2] See also
