History
The Ocean House, built in 1844, was owned by Job Jenness. The hostelry was financed by Stacy Nudd. It started out small and eventually reached four stories, with accommodations for 250 guests. By 1865, it was operated by John Colby Philbrick and was known as the Philbrick Hotel—a visit by Admiral David Farragut caused the building to be coined "Farragut House"; it was town down in the mid-1970s.[1][2]
In 1874 and 1875, the Direct United States Cable Company's
New Hampshire historical marker, number 63 on New Hampshire Route 1A near Jenness State Beach, commemorates the communications station and nearby sunken forest.[5]
