45 Silver Street, Dover, New Hampshire
A Major Place in Dover's History

The house was also the home of Captain Benjamin Oliver Reynolds and his wife Martha from 1871 to approximately 1891. Captain Reynolds commanded the "Jonathan Sawyer" built in Bath, Maine for the Dover Navigation Company.

At one point, the house was split up into a duplex, and a large addition was added to the rear making the total square footage of the building approximately 3,600 square feet.

It was at that time, we've been told, that a resident of the duplex, name unknown, died in the house. His body was not discovered for several days. It is he, we believe, that still resides in the building as our resident ghost. We were also told of his ghostly activities, and really didn't have to occupy the building all that long before several of us heard or felt him ourselves. He is friendly, and likes to slam doors and walk up and down one of the three staircases in the building. Between the many workers that helped us renovate the building, and our staff and agents, we have already had a few ghostly encounters that were just unexplainable. The house has a very warm, friendly feeling to it, so none of us are really bothered by him. But, we know he is there!

When prior owners Robert & Leda Keefe (1960s - 1970s) had to remodel the kitchen due to a fire, one of the workers broke a power saw blade cutting through a beam in the kitchen. Turns out his saw blade hit an Indian arrowhead, which, according to Leda, had been shot into the tree, and the tree grew around it, later being cut into beams. The arrowhead, we were told, is still here, but so far we have been unable to find it.
