Castle in the Clouds – Picture of the Week
Castle in the Clouds located in the Ossipee Mountains built in 1913.
Welcome to Tom and Olive Plant’s mountaintop estate “Lucknow”, built in 1913-1914 high in the Ossipee Mountain Range with a breathtaking vista of Lake Winnipesaukee and the hills and mountains beyond. Known as the Castle in the Clouds since its opening to the public in 1959, the house is an unusual example of Arts and Crafts architecture in New England, expressing that aesthetic movement’s philosophy of living in harmony with nature. Designed by the architectural firm of J. Williams Beal & Sons of Boston, the house not only exhibits skilled hand craftsmanship in every aspect of its interior and exterior, but also features a number of technological innovations of the early 20th Century.

The Garnet Inn – Picture of the Week
On Plymouth Street stood the flat-roofed, four story, Garnet Inn. This white clapboarded vernacular Italianate style hotel was connected to the neighboring gable-roofed section of the inn by a long wooden veranda that would be lined with wicker rocking chairs. During the late 1950s, the Garnet Inn served as a summer home for many musicians with the New Hampshire Music Festival. It later became a dormitory for Belknap College, a short-lived school…. Both sections of the Garnet Inn were demolished in the 1990s. (text courtesy of Thomas Visser @ University of Vermont website http://www.uvm.edu/)
