Moffatt-Ladd House
The Moffatt-Ladd House, also known as the William Whipple House, is a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark at 154 Market Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. The 1763 Georgian house was the home of William Whipple (1730-85), a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Revolutionary War general.
