"The Mount Washington Hotel, the large building to the east, is
the culminating achievement of the creators of the Bretton Woods area. Conceived by Mr. Joseph Stickney, a
wealthy railroad magnate, it was built in 1902 in a grand manner to attract the fashionable and the rich.
A magnificent structure in a spectacular setting, the Mount Washington Hotel has been host to presidents,
royalty, and scores of celebrities. In its heyday as many as fifty-seven trains a day brought carloads of
people, great and humble, to this resort rivaling Newport, Saratoga, and Bar Harbor." erected 1978 |
