HOOKSETT, N.H. – The Hooksett Heritage Commission is holding a public hearing on the merits of demolishing an 82-year-old house eligible for listing on the New Hampshire Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.

Located at 1253 Hooksett Rd., across from Sunoco, the home known as “The Stone House” was built in 1938 and is Hooksett’s only Tudor Revival fieldstone house.
