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.

What a beautiful town Wolfeboro would be if all the old hotels were still standing. The shoe factory was huge wasn't it?! People moved down from Canada to work there.

Wow, I remember staying there with my mother and grandparents many, many, many years ago! Breakfast was delivered to your cottage and other meals in the main house.

I am 75 and I was probably 5 or 6 then so other details are a bit sketchy!

I am sure the flag only had 48 stars!

Pre-War, about late 1930s. Manufacturer TBA.

fatlazyless · 12-23-2020, 09:01 PM

That car looks like it must be a 1938 Packard Model 1600, six-cylinder sedan.

What a dull neglected finish ..... needs a good Simonizing!

TheTimeTraveler · 12-23-2020, 09:46 PM

The vehicle does have "suicide doors" if that helps someone identify the year and the model.

I don't see any railroad tracks so presumably the train no longer ran to the dock (but I think someone said the tracks were removed in the late 20's).
