http://www.weirsbeach.com/Largejpgs/nhvahistory.html has been there since sometime like 1924, and will probably still be there in 2124. In 1924 the large Weirs Hotel on-site burnt to the ground.
They have a number of seasonal, un-heated historic buildings, plus a campground, and I could never figure out exactly what purpose these serve, what is their use and whether these civil war ear buildings are a plus or a minus for the Weirs area?
According to an article in the LaDaSun a couple years ago, the NH Veteran's Assoc pays no property taxes to Laconia and makes most of its yearly income during bike week, from rental income from the vender tents placed on the grassy embankment above the sidewalk, and the rental income gets used for building and property maintenance and repairs.
Are these old historic un-heated and presumably un-used buildings a historic benefit to the area, or are they an eyesore .......I dunno .....what do you think?? Whatever they may be ........they will most likely be there for many many years to come. Is the NH Veteran's Assoc historic buildings and campground a plus or a minus for the area?
Maybe the NH Veterans Assoc would be interested in removing all these old historic structures to a new location and replacing them with a brand new casino designed along a Civil War style design similar to these old buildings, and the casino employees could dress up like the soldiers who fought the Civil War in blue and grey uniforms. It could be an historical replica Civil War era waterfront casino .... and power-up the local economy....with a year round casino business.
