Dane Estate/Belknap College/Red Hill Inn

[BroadHopper]

I happen to drive by today on I notice all the buildings are gone! Anyone knows what had happened???

They were all shipped to China on a barge. The Chinese will be reopening the school as the Beijing College of Manufactoring Technology.

Unlike New Hampshire, Chinese private colleges, grades; freshman, sophomore, junior & senior are not subject to a huge local property tax which eventually closes the school. :rolleye1:

By the way, whie driving the hill on Route 25-B, I thought I noticed a Lamprey Realty 'For Sale' sign in the Dane Estate's hillside field of very mature apple trees? Is that sign for real or just some sort of private joke?

I thought it was purchased by NH Music Festival (http://www.nhmf.org/aboutus/)to be used as their headquarters?
In 2001, the Festival took the first major step toward this goal, purchasing the Red Hill Inn property in Center Harbor. In 2007, the Festival raised $10,000,000 that has allowed us to move forward with the core project, including the renovation of Festival House, the building of a concert hall and chamber music salon of the highest acoustical quality.

Never heard of that. Also who is Lambert Realty? I have heard of Lamprey Realty. Guess you get around in the area more then us other natives.

You probably missed the Lambert sign since it was on 25 C as opposed to the Lamprey & Lamprey sign on 25 B. Perhaps FLL is thinking of that brand new imaginary road that doesn't have all the pot holes that goes from Center Harbor to Rt. 3. Actually, I'm looking for this new road myself but without any luck.

I know it doesn't exist. Perhaps some people refer to College Rd as 25C??? It is a nice ride though if you slow down and enjoy the views. I love traveling the back roads.
