[PAR] [TLE] Gen. John Stark House [SEP] The Gen. John Stark House is a historic house museum at 2000 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire.  The house, a single-story Cape style farmhouse, was built in 1736 by Archibald Stark.  Stark's son John, a hero of the American Revolutionary War, lived in this house from 1736 to 1765; it is where he brought his new bride Molly, and where two of their children were born.  Originally located on Canal Street, the house remained in the Stark family until 1821.  It was acquired by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in 1835, and used for worker housing.  In 1937 the company donated the building to the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which restored the property and adapted it for use as a meeting site.  It was moved to its present site, which is also on the original 800 acre Stark farm, in 1968. [PAR] [TLE] Amoskeag Manufacturing Company [SEP] The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company was a textile manufacturer which founded Manchester, New Hampshire.  From modest beginnings in near wilderness, it grew throughout the 19th century into the largest cotton textile plant in the world.  At its peak, Amoskeag was unrivaled both for the quality and quantity of its products.  But with great size came an inability to adapt.  In the early 20th century, the business failed in changing economic and social conditions.
