On This Spot Once Stood: Remembering NH's Architectural Heritage-7pm
Center Harbor Schoolhouse Museum, 94 Dane Road/Route 25B, Center Harbor, NH Free Program. Open to the public.

New Hampshire has lost many of its historic buildings to fire, neglect, intentional demolition, and redevelopment. In some cases, a plaque or marker provides a physical reminder of what once was; but in others, no tangible evidence remains. Speaker Maggie Stier showcases some of the celebrated buildings that our state has lost, including such local treasures as the grand tourist hotel Senter House in Center Harbor. The Senter House burned in 1887, was immediately rebuilt as the Colonial Hotel (pictured above), and was lost to fire again in 1919. Ms. Stier also explores how and why we remember and commemorate these losses.

About the Speaker: Maggie Stier is well-versed in historic preservation issues. She served as the founding director of The Fells historic estate and gardens on Lake Sunappe, as a field service representative for the NH Preservation Alliance for 10 years, and is the chairperson of the Wolfeboro Heritage Commision. She currently works as Director of Development for Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough, NH.
