About This Site

The development of this web component, focusing on the Berlin Heights Addition neighborhood, was prepared under contract with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT).  It is intended to serve as mitigation for the relocation of NH Route 110 through the historic neighborhood which resulted in the state acquiring and demolishing more than thirty structures along the route.   

 

The neighborhood of Berlin Heights Addition, also known as “The Avenues” was designed and platted in a grid pattern in 1892-3 to accommodate the growing need for workforce housing.
