Nothing historic but a few pics never hurt a thread

What a shame - this house has such character and whatever replaces it will be just another building, no matter how nice and new.

76 Lakeside Ave, Laconia: $7478 - property tax 2019, and $363,200 - assessment according to Trulia.com(24-photos) which values it a $525,363 with 5-bedrooms, 2.5-baths, updated and refreshed interior with an historic exterior design, built in 1870, includes a detached in-law apartment, all on a hillside .30-acre lot with a big, big water view of Lake Winnipesaukee.

This one old house, built in 1870 is the #! best historic home in all of Weirs Beach with its design and prominent location as seen from the road.

It has two large flat spaces down at the public sidewalk in front of the large stone wall that get leased out to a bike week seller which probably goes a long way to offset the property tax.

It is unknown at this time what the owner’s plans are after demolition. The owner has also owned the Boardwalk Bar & Grill property (the former Weirs Beach Waterslide) since 2010, and purchased the Faro restaurant (the former Weirs Beach Lobster Pound) properties earlier this year. In the rear, the house does abut part of the Boardwalk Bar & Grill property.
