Some Mid-Century Modern architecture around the seacoast that come to mind would be Williamson & Christiansen Halls at UNH Durham, and the First Seacoast Bank in Dover.

Also in Dover, you could argue that Woodman Park Elementary School is Art Deco, or at least the spire.

Found this online, too:

I don't think that school constitutes art deco. IDK the name for that style, I looked it up once because I hate it. But I remember it was more 50's/60's. A lot of grade schools all over the country look like it.

Art deco's a little more "grand" looking, lots of vertical patterns. Like the Chrysler Building or the Empire State Building, and was an early 1900s style.

edit: Okay, I didn't notice the spire. Still not sure you'd call that art deco, idk what that is.

Yeah, it really was just the spire on Woodman Park that made me say that.
