Description and history
The Cote House is located on the north side of Goshen Center Road, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of New Hampshire Route 31. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wooden structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It measures just 24 feet (7.3 m) by 22 feet (6.7 m), with its walls framed by 3-inch-thick vertical planking given lateral stability by the horizontal placement of dowels. Each of its facades has two bays, most occupied by sash windows, with the main entrance on one of the gable ends.[2]
The house was built about 1846, and originally served as the Goshen Center Schoolhouse. It was built by John Chambers, a local housewright known to use the plank-framing technique. The building served as a school until 1926, and is now a private residence. It is one of three surviving 19th-century schoolhouses in the town, out of five built.[2]
