The Portsmouth Historical Society

Foster Comstock gave me one of his magnificent prints of this building, this view, actually, only he turned his lithograph into a whimsical face. 

This is my high dynamic range tribute to him. He was a good man, once the head of the school of architecture at Princeton, director of Doris Duke's Newport Restoration Foundation, and a mentor to me. May he rest in peace.

The building, Greek Revival, Portsmouth country style, was used for another purpose, no doubt, but I don't know what. The triangles are many. It must have be designed by a man.
