more on the HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND

The Laconia Daily Sun reported today that the Long Island House has been placed on the National Register of Historical Places.

Quote:

There were two hostelries on Long Island: The Browns’ Long Island Inn was established in 1874. It was very successfully operated by George K. Brown, son of John and Catherine, and later by their son, Harry. Their house, built in 1830, is still standing, near the entrance gates of Windermere. From this Inn, the slope of the shore of the Lake was cleared and an avenue of trees led down to the large wharf. It was, at this time, a great accommodation that mail was delivered by boat five time a day. Such famous steamers as The Lady of the Lake and the first Mount Washington on their trips around the Lake, bring, in addition to the mail, provisions, freight, and passengers.

Does anyone know any more history of the second hotel on Long Island? I know it was called the Island Home or Blake's Hotel and could accommodate 50 guests. It was near the high ground of Long Island and not far from the Roxmont site. It burned in 1962.
I'm interested because our property is in this area, in fact, we have the Lamprey cemetary on our land. (Lamprey was an owner of the Island Home hotel).
Anything more on this interesting history would be appreciated.
