The culvert suggests a location adjacent to the park by 109E and Sandy Road. A wide, boggy brook empties into Wentworth near there.

BTW:

FLL's Packard ID is correct

but check out Chevrolet of the same year.

I'm pretty sure Brightwaters is now the Windrifter on Lake St.

Are you sure that's Huggins? It looks kind of narrow but maybe it's just the angle we are seeing it from.

It looks like it might be a house on Forrest Road.

I don't know when Forest Road got electricity, but the Wolfeboro Airpark got it in 1949.

IF that's Forest Road, a large barn is missing, but may have been built since.

The property would be the old Goodwin Farm. An apple orchard formerly extended far down Forest Road. (There are no more apple trees, as most of the orchard has been sold and converted to residential properties).

It wasn't difficult to imagine how Forest Road would get its name from back then. Even thirty years ago, one would drive through a dark green tube cut through a forest of Maples and White Pine. Lake Winnipesaukee wouldn't be revealed until one reached Carry Beach.

Doesn't that look different to you than the other picture Top? Or is it me?

BTW, do you remember the Pirates Den?

Having spent a lifetime traveling Forest Road, I think this house is the big one on he right side of the road going toward the beach.

Huggins Hospital

tis · 01-05-2021, 03:38 PM

See how the old hospital looks wider and not so tall and narrow? That's why I think the other picture is not the hospital. What say you McDude?

mcdude · 01-05-2021, 04:14 PM

In the hospital image there appears to be an extension or addition on the right hand side that I don't see in the other photo.

tis · 01-05-2021, 04:22 PM

Oh, Yes you are right!!

Exactly what I think too. It is now owned by the Shaws but was owned by the Ericsons for many years before that. It was also that area that was hit hard by the hurricane of '38. The Piper Farm, the Folsom farm etc.

Hmm, I do wonder what that tall ladder is for. It's can't be a gangplank of some sort?

barefootbay · 02-17-2021, 12:20 PM

High diving ?
