It could also have been the Lakeside Hotel and Motel at the head of the boardwalk which was owned by the Favreaus who also owned the restaurant across the street which has been in turn a saloon, bowling alley and bar. This hotel was owned by this family from the late 50's until the late 80's

Built in 1880 by George W. Weeks, for which Weeks Street is named, the Winnipesaukee Marketplace was originally a hotel, known as the Lakeside House. For more pictures of the hotel in its original glory, click here. It was owned by Mr. Weeks from 1880-1912. Edward T. Milton, who owned it from 1913-1925, erected the footbridge in 1917 "to afford easier access to the Lakeside for auto parties". In the late 1940's, the name was changed to the Lakeside Hotel (see picture below) by its new father-and-son owners, Albert and Donald Favreau. In 1986, it became the Winnipesaukee Marketplace.
