I would like to pose another question on local history.

George A. Collins (1868-1934) was a prominent man in Lakeport during his lifetime. He owned Collins’ Drug Store on Elm Street (now Wanda’s Beauty Shop) and later opened one in Laconia, as well. He purchased the Bear Island House in 1909 and operated it until he sold it in 1922. He was also president of the McDuff Machine Co. on Gold Street (marine engines) and I understand he owned an ice house on Paugus Bay. I have been trying to ascertain whether the ice house owned by Collins was the one on Cass Point in Lakeport. Any historians out there who might know this bit of information? There were several on Paugus - the large one of the Independent Ice Co., the Rudzinski ice house next to it and one near the Weirs Channel. There may have been others.

Thanks for your help.
