We don’t know for sure, but it’s probable that this house, “the original home of Edward Parkham Sanderson” (as inscribed on the reverse) in Pittsfield, Merrifield County, New Hampshire was built in the third to fourth quarter of the 19th century, at the height of the Sanderson family’s success as a local dealers in “Dry Goods,” an enterprising establishment formerly of No. 1 Depot Street, in Pittsfield. Edward Parkham Sanderson was born in 1860 in Pittsfield to Danield P. and Elizabeth C. Sanderson. Apparently, this place was but a memory to Sanderson, since, by 1880, his father was deceased, forcing Elizabeth to remove the family to Hyde Park, Norfolk, Massachusetts, where by that point her two sons, Edward P. and Irving W. were both clerks in local stores.
