Subject
Uncanoonuc Hotel, Summit, Uncanoonuc Mountain, Manchester, NH
Description
Notes:
“I think this is about as high as I will ever be.”
This statement was almost certainly prophetic.
I recently saw a coffee table book devoted to the grand hotels of the New England coast. There was a smaller group of hotels, like The Uncanoonuc, perched on top of some of New England’s most precipitous ridges. The idea that you would have this view to enjoy from the comforts of your hotel produced more than one painting during the 19th century. (See Thomas Cole’s “The Oxbow,” painted at the Summit House on Mt, Holyoke, Northampton, Mass.)
The Uncanoonuc Incline Rwy Co. (by whose permission the post cards were manufactured) operated an electric railroad that took patrons up to the hotel.
