The Portsmouth Cottage Hospital is a National Register of Historic Places site that served as the primary hospital for the Portsmouth area from 1895 to 1986, when another hospital opened. The City purchased the site and began a slow redevelopment process, beginning with municipal facilities. In 2004, the Portsmouth Housing Authority redeveloped the original hospital building into 20 units of senior housing. The project was funded in part through state Rehabilitation Tax Credits.
