Bridges House was built by Charles Graham about 1836. Styles Bridges, governor of New Hampshire (1935–36) and U.S. senator for 25 years thereafter, lived here from 1946 until his death. Bequeathed to the state upon the death of his widow Doloris Bridges, in 1969 it become the governor's official residence.[3]
The current governor, Maggie Hassan, is from Exeter, a town in southeastern New Hampshire. She does not reside at Bridges House, but instead on the campus of Phillips Exeter Academy where her husband, Thomas Hassan serves as Principal.
