Undated photographic print of the Residence of John C. Thorne at 216 North Main Street in Concord, NH. There are two images: one of the exterior of the house and a second of a room. The caption states, "216 North Main Street. Residence of John C. Thorne. House building 1865 E. B. Hutchinson was the architect and builder of this structure. Calvin Thorn built and first occupied this house with his son John C. Thorn. Calvin was the City liquor agent, with a salary of $300 per year, also had a store of boots, shoes, and leather. This house stood upon historic ground, the site upon which it stood was first occupied, in 1785, by Major Daniel Livermore, and in 1806, that house was bought by the Concord bank, and for more than twenty years was used by that institution as banking-rooms and the home of its cashier. In 1829 the Rev. Nathaniel Bouton, D. D. purchased the place, and for twenty six years it was his residence. In 1884 Mr. John C. Thorne acquired the house from his fathers estate and in addition succeeded to the well established and honorable business of his father. About 1935 the house was razed to make a lawn for the New Hampshire Historical Society Museum, one door south."
