'Long View' is the name of the big fancy-dancy mansion house there ...... and 'Long View' really has a loooooong vieeeeeew!
Back in July and August of 1964, as a summer camper at Camp Alton, I used to sit on that Clay Point embankment, close to where the three bay, boat house is now located, and look down the lake. On a clear sunny day, in the afternoon, I could see all the way down to the bright white Mount Washington cruise vessel at its' Center Harbor stop, which is maybe 12-miles down the lake from Clay Point ..... that view just keeps going and going and going ...... threading all down the lake there ......... a truly loooooooong vieeeeeeeew!
Understand that the one tennis court now present was also one of the three juniors' tennis courts from back in 1964 ...... one of the very, very few items that survived the demolition of
www.CampAlton.com 1937-1992 .... and the design/construction of the big money 'Long View.'
From 1937-1992, there was like 300 campers and staff there for the summer months, returning year after year ...... and that got reduced down to a BIG ZERO with the recent owner. Hope the new owner gets some good use with their Long View purchase.
