Aldworth Manor, also known as the Arthur E. Childs House, is a historic summer estate house in rural Harrisville, New Hampshire. The house is located at the top of a hill at the end of Aldworth Road, formerly the estate's access drive, and was one of the premiere estate houses of the early 20th century in the town. The house was originally built c.1850 in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was inherited by Arthur E. Childs, a Worcester native from a wealthy family, in the early 20th century. Early history The house that would become Aldworth Manor was originally built by the iron founder William W. Wheeler by 1851 on land in Worcester, Massachusetts that he had acquired in 1848. The house was first located at 104 (originally numbered 30) Lincoln Street, a few blocks from Lincoln Square. In 1867 the house was purchased by Philip L. Moen, president of the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Company. Upon his death in 1891, the house was willed to Philip W. Moen, his eldest son. When he in turn died in 1904, it was willed to his sister, Alice, wife of Arthur E. Childs of Boston. This came with the stipulation that she must live in the house to receive the property. As residents of Boston, Mr. and Mrs. Childs apparently had no interest in living in Worcester, but they were in possession of a farm in Harrisville, New Hampshire on which Childs had proposed to build a hunting lodge. As Alice Childs had also been willed $1,000,000 along with the house, they decided to find a workaround that allowed them to keep the money but not have to reside in Worcester. Beginning in 1905 the Childs had the house transported in pieces to Harrisville by train on seventeen railroad cars, and then hauled to what was then called Chesham Hill Farm, where it was reassembled and restyled in the Colonial Revival style. The architect for the relocation and initial remodeling was the Fuller & Delano Company of Worcester. This first phase of development was complete by 1908. In 1915 the Childs had the house renovated again, this time into a Renaissance villa. The architects this time were Kilham & Hopkins of Boston. In addition to moving the house, Childs extensively landscaped the farm property, which was at its greatest extent.
