Frank Pierce Carpenter, born in Chichester, New Hampshire, on October 28, 1845. His father was a well-known citizen of the area, having served in the state legislature. The family moved to Concord, New Hampshire, where Carpenter completed high school. In 1864, Frank Pierce Carpenter moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he would become a notable fixture. When Carpenter first arrived in Manchester, he worked as a clerk at a hay and grain business. But soon, he began his own flour and grain business. However, Carpenter dissolved the business in 1885. Carpenter's next venture was the purchase of the Amoskeag paper mill, a prominent company in Manchester, and Carpenter's prominent venture for the remainder of his life.
Carpenter was also involved in several businesses and organizations in Manchester, including working as the director of the Amoskeag National Bank, Amoskeag Trust Company, each of which is a part of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. He also worked in some capacity at the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Company, the Concord and Montreal Railroad, among many other businesses and industries. Frank Pierce Carpenter also was interested in the arts and sciences and served on the board of the Currier Gallery (which would become the Currier Museum of Art) and commissioned the creation of the Franklin Pierce statue in 1914. Based on these various ventures, Carpenter was highly involved in his community and did what he could to serve it and make it better.
To conclude, the Frank Pierce Carpenter house located on Elm Street in Manchester is an example of the Queen Anne style of architecture that was popular among the wealthy during the nineteenth century. However, it also serves as a commemoration to Frank Pierce Carpenter, who owned the Amoskeag Mills, and did his best to serve and better his community in a multitude of ways.

The Frank Pierce Carpenter House is a historic house at 1800 Elm Street on the north side of Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1891 for the president of the Amoskeag Paper Company, it is a fine local example of high-style Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994,[1] and was home to the local chapter of the American Red Cross for approximately 71 years from the start of WWII.
Today it is a privately owned office building protected by the Manchester Historic Association and known as the Carpenter Historic Building, LLC, which recently completed an award-winning historic renovation to the Carriage House onsite to bring back the stable and carriage entrance and former original living space for the caretaker now in use as office space. The building is a local point of interest to visitors of Manchester and part of the Manchester Historic Association's guided tours of Manchester historic homes and people. It is open to public viewing during working hours.
...
The house was built in 1891 for Frank Carpenter, then the president of the Amoskeag Paper Company, and a major city benefactor. It was probably designed by Edgar A. P. Newcomb, who Carpenter had hired to design the city's Carpenter Memorial Library. The multi-acre estate that Carpenter amassed around the house was sold off in portions after his death in 1938, and the house was given a temporary lease of the property during World War II. This lease was made effectively permanent after the war, and the property was formally transferred to the Red Cross in 1993 by Carpenter's heirs, subject to preservation easements.

Manchester City Library History
The City Library: The Gift Of Learning by C. N. O'Neil and John A. Brisbin
The Manchester City Library has been a cultural treasure to Manchester and New Hampshire since 1854. In his inaugural address that year, Mayor elect Frederick Smyth proposed the establishment of a free public library for all of Manchester's citizens. During the previous decade, the Manchester Athenaeum had been used and enjoyed by its members. The Manchester Athenaeum collection was officially transferred to the city on September 6, 1854, bringing to life Mayor Smyth's dream of a Manchester City Library.Plaque
The new city library soon outgrew its original site in the Patten Block on Elm Street next to City Hall. In 1871, the City erected a new building for it on Franklin Street, on a lot given by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. In spite of an addition built several years later, the library's expanding collections and enthusiastic user group soon outgrew that Franklin Street location as well. For one thing, that building had no separate children's room. Indeed, prior to 1907 children weren't even allowed in the library.
Soon after the death of his wife Elenora Blood Carpenter in January, 1910, the president of Amoskeag Paper Mill Frank Pierce Carpenter offered to construct a library building in her memory.
Frank Carpenter spared no expense in the planning and construction of the new library building. He hired architects Edward L. Tilton of New York and Edgar A.P. Newcomb of Honolulu to design the Italian Renaissance style building which would serve not only the then present needs but growth over many subsequent decades.
He purchased a prime development property on Pine Street, between Concord and Amherst Streets, directly across from what is now Victory Park. In the actual construction, he used Concord granite, Botticino and Lastavena marble. The structure which still houses the library today was dedicated, before an estimated crowd of more than 5,000 people, as the Elenora Blood Carpenter Building on November 18, 1914.
During World War II, under the direction of Librarian Caroline B. Clement, Manchester City Library participated in community efforts such as closing early due to rationing of oil. The wartime library also helped circulate Civil Defense publications and posted information about the sale of War Bonds. A "victory book campaign" for the men in the armed forces was started and Manchester citizens responded with donations. In 1942, a readers' advisory service was introduced to advise patrons on the best books in specific subject areas. Job information, literacy information, foreign language materials and VHS video collections have become part of the readers service area in recent years.
The New Hampshire Room of Manchester City Library, a reference library of local history and genealogy information, was formally dedicated on March 16, 1958. Included in the New Hampshire Room collection are biographies, literature, military records and other information about Manchester and New Hampshire. The collection now includes microfilm of the library's newspaper scrapbooks from 1845-1941, Manchester city directories, and the U.S. Federal Census for New Hampshire.
During the summer of 1995, the New Hampshire Room was moved to the largest second floor room in the Carpenter Memorial Building. This relocation and renovation project was completed with a bequest from the late Priscilla Sullivan, a Carpenter family relation. ...
