Take
a tour of the local lofts and other historic places in downtown
Portsmouth and the Boneyfiddle District. See how others
are adapting and restoring old buildings
and new grandeur. Enjoy festive treats at each location.
The quiet efforts of several Portsmouth residents to restore
the historic and architectural integrity and beauty of their
buildings first came to the attention of the general public
four years ago, when the work of those people was showcased
in the first ever
"Tour of Lofts". Don't forget to start your holiday shopping
at one of the many specialty shops downtown and enjoy lunch
at a locally owned restaurant.
