Default Winnipesaukee Stereoscopic Photos, anyone?

Hi All,

I have a small collection of antique stereographs, and some I've made myself. Only have one original of the lake, but thought I'd share. This one's a view from Center Harbor. I am hoping others have some. If not, enjoy this one.

Our antique stereoscope is a little homely but works wonderfully. And people say these new-fangled 3-D TV's are all the rage.... This 3-D stuff's been around for a while!

This one is an old Kilburn -- the Kilburn factory is by a historic marker in Littleton, NH.

I scanned this pretty high resolution, it should print fine and fit in your stereoscope. On this one the weeds really jump out in the foreground.

If anyone has others to share, I'd love to see them.

Pontoonbarge




PS: make your own. Get an out-dated digital camera. Use ebay to find a second one that's the same. Should be cheap. My 3MP cam's work awesome. Get a tripod and a piece of stiff metal or plastic. Drill two holes so that you can mount both cameras so the lenses are about 6-8" apart. +/-... Take some pics and line them up in the stereoscope and say WOW! It's surprisingly easy.

This is probably from the 1800s. Photographed and published by Kilburn Brothers, - Littleton, NH.
"a standard size yellow mount stereoview of four young men canoeing on Lake Winnipeseogee (older spelling for Lake Winnipesaukee ???) while several victorian clad ladies wait on a dock in the background. Perhaps you can find this location yet today. A bit of fading, but otherwise a great view. Probably dates to 1870s. Kilburn Brothers stamp on the verso, Littleton, NH."

Winnipiseogee House - 1877
Alton Bay. An old stereoview photograph - August 30, 1877. Note the RR bridge and tracks in the lower right. This edifice (at least the front part) burned on May 10, 1905.

Men at Weirs Campmeeting -
from an old stereoview photograph. Men at the Weirs Camp Meeting. Photographed and published by G.H. Tebbetts, Laconia, NH. Stereoscopic views of Laconia and Vicinity.

Default Stereograph Views of NH

NYPL Digital Gallery has quite a lot of views of the White Mountains, by John P Soule. A couple of my White Mountain favorites are:

The Old Man of the Mountain (1858?-1875?)


The Hanging Boulder at The Flume (1858?-1875?)

Here are some from the lake!


Wolfeborough (1858?-1875?)


Centre Harbor (1858?-1875?)


Centre Harbor and Red Hill (1858?-1875?)



Senter House and Stages, Centre Harbor, N.H. (1858?-1875?)

Have you noticed that road trips to our beautiful mountains is so much easier from the lake!

Question Pavilion Hotel



I kept coming across images of The Pavilion Hotel in Wolfeboro, but it isn't ringing a bell for me. Was this hotel in Wolfeboro?

Yes, it was. I think it was the first one built and was on what is today the Brewster Campus.
