Many nice pix, and it's hard to dissect them all. My recollection is that, back in the day, gas stations had disticntive architecture. Among other features, Esso had a red lipstick roof feature. I always thought of the Yum Yum shop as being a former Esso/Exxon station. To me Gulf had their orange signs but nothing distinctive about architecture. YumYum = Esso, n'est ce pas?

This pic indicates that the Yum Yum Shop was previously a Gulf Station.

This old fashioned Esso gas station was rather unique as it did not have a car lift; rather it had a deep cement trench that the mechanic had to step down into in order to work under the vehicles. It was a very small Gas Station. McDude is correct in that the Gulf Station was located at the current Yum Yum Shop, but prior to that it was located at the Ford Dealership across the street.

These pits were phased out because too many mechanics were killed or injured using them. Heavier-than-air fumes and gases would collect in the pits causing the mechanic to pass out or suffocate if no one noticed their distress.

I was a mechanic at the chevy dealer in wolfboro many years ago and we had those pits. Made certain jobs easy but really was dangerous aside from the fumes there was the issue of falling in or driving a car over the edge. At the time it was called Kamler Chevrolt and Buick and was located sort of behind Hunters grocery. (was it called that then, 40+ years ago?)

![]() Cate Park was dedicated in 1967 on the site of what had been the Ann Inn and then, from the early 1940s onward, an Esso Service Station. At one time, Fred E. Varney was proprietor. Also, depicted in the background, is the old Lakeshore R.R. Station which is now the Dockside Restaurant.

We are talking about two A & P s. It was where the Stationery Shop used to be which is now Back Bay Clothing and then moved up the hill where Hunter's Shop and Save is now. The First National was where Dive Winnipesaukee is now but then moved to where Harvest Market is now.

A neighbor's incredibly luxurious three car garage has a grease/oil pit in the center bay built by Bruin's right winger, Ukraine hockey player Dmitri Khristich in about 1998 so's he could work on his old Lada car built back in the U.S.S.R.
For a 1970's boxy Lada is best to have a grease pit. If you put that car up on a lift, the wheels or something could fall off car. Both the Plymouth Walmart and Laconia Valvoline have oil/grease pits mostly for doing oil changes since not too many grease fittings, anymore.

Supervisor Gordon Colby hired me to assist. ![]() ![]() To replace damaged screening, you can pry out the wooden strips and staple-in new screening. I used copper screening, when the time came for mine. (Our place was built by Fred E. Varney Co., and no rodent has ever got inside--except for a chipmunk who followed me through the door after I refilled the bird feeder). ![]() The Lada, built in the USSR, was a FIAT, built under license. You still see them in modern YouTube dash-cam videos of Russian traffic crashes--which are epic! ![]() I never heard Henry used, it was always Harry Hopewell. 'Quirky guy, who has since passed away. New to me, Hopewell Point Road could have been named after him, but he also had a remarkable brother. Could that Wolfeboro open-air market have been Stinchfield's Market? ![]() |

Laconia Car Company has a description in Wikipedia. It says it manufactured railway cars in Laconia from 1848 to 1928. It occupied seven acres of downtown Laconia and employed as many as 500 people.
1914 was the last year of profitable operation for the company. It had been focused on electric trolley cars and became unprofitable when trolley riders switched over to automobiles like the Ford Model T, 1908-1927, the car for every man, a car that most people could actually buy. "Employment increased to a thousand workers by 1912, but focus on electric railway cars made the company uncompetitive for conventional railway vehicles as electric railway riders began using automobiles, and 1914 was the last year of profitable operation for the company." "Production shifted to plywood motorboats before the company closed in 1928." When a company, 1848 to 1928, switches from railroad cars and then to electric trolley cars and then to baggage and mail cars and then to plywood motorboats ...... it is not a happy future and likely to close ..... and close, it did in 1928. Is there an historical sign in Laconia, somewhere, on the Laconia Car Company, 1848-1928, a state historical sign similar to the Belknap College sign, 1963-1973, that's in Center Harbor?

Yes, that's him. My grandparents lived on Springfield Point very close to the Kamler's home there. I have very fond memories of my years growing up and visiting them all in that area. The Kamler's, Buckman's, Graham's all a great group over there- I'm sure I'm forgetting so many.
Well I can tell you the "extra love" worked, even though it ended up in California, rust was never an issue. ![]() |

Definitely not the 1980's.
I don't know the exact time frame that the Back Bay was filled in but I would guess sometime during the 1940's or 1950's. After that time Government regulations likely would not have ever allowed it to be done...... |

The shopping center where TD Bank and the basketball and fields etc in back were the town dump. I think they just probably dumped in the water and that started to fill it in and then they covered it when the moved the dump out to 109A. I remember before the shopping centers were there the road was more like a causeway and sometimes it got flooded. I was so young-I wish I could remember more.

I remember a short drive to the dump. Today, I have to plan a trip to the dump on my monthly schedule.
![]() Is the shopping center sinking? ![]() As for "causeway", a heavy rain a few years ago had a kayak used to get around the parking lot. That picture made the cover of The Granite State News! ![]() |

That's Point Breeze before the big fire. The boathouse on Sunset Point was (is) just beyond the property line, and what a challenge to us Point Breeze kids to get over there, and even out to the "summer house" at the end of the point!
My mother was brought to Point Breeze for the first time in 1924 when she was one month old. As you can see from the photo, there were no cabins then, just big rooming houses, and Charles Stevens would not tolerate her crying at night, so my grandpa would walk her on the beach and through the woods to quiet her. She brought my Dad there in 1947, just before they married, and I came for the first time at the age of 3 months in 1950. My family was there every summer from 1924-1982 which was the last year. It was remarkable that the same families tended to have the same vacation times, and I could still tell you, for the first three weeks in August, which cabins #1 - #32 "belonged" to which families, because it was (almost) always the same people. My parents, sisters, and two sets of grandparents had 3, 4, and 5. My cousins were usually "on the other side", where one of the old rooming houses "the Boulders" still survived. Lots of memories of times gone by. I live about a half mile away, on Lake Wentworth, and I'm raising my kids there. |

Ok, since nobody commented on Clearwater Lodges I'll bite. It has been run by the Vinnicomb family since some time in the late 50s I think. The granddaughter and her husband now run it although Herb is still living there. If you remember the storm that came through last summer, it hit Clearwater hard, knocking down trees and damaging several cottages. It is on North Main St below the Libby Museum/Tuftonboro line. It is beside Piping Rock. When we were kids some guy and I think his name was Matt Brendell owned Piping Rock and he had a big megaphone ( I think that's what it's called ) and yelled to all his guests on it. They would water ski and when somebody would successfully get up he would yell out "Atta Boy". It was pretty funny.

![]() Actually ![]() Looks like some sort of hobby shop of sorts. As a little kid definitely a place I would have wanted to visit. Loved model trains when I was little. Anyone remember this place? |

If I remember correctly the Klickety Clack closed down only about a year or so ago and a high-end antique/home furnishings shop went into the space.

I hadn’t realized this place had closed! They had some great train layouts! Sad to hear it’s gone. Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

There is a group that is putting together a train museum of sorts by the railroad station. They are going to have some kind of layouts, not sure what but I think they will be working trains from what I hear.

It never ceases to amaze me how a some what obscure post will bring a few folks out of the woodwork so to speak with a reply and a comments like I "Hey" I remember that place. Thanks for the replies makes looking for these oddities worth posting. Admittedly "Wolfeboro" is one of my less travel places around the lake. Years ago I remember traveling there with my grandparents in there 57 Pontiac and my dad was looking for a Korean War service buddy.
Thanks for the replies everyone. ![]() The only other thing I need to know is the story that goes with this boat. Looks like a Chris Craft or an old Century ![]() |

I love Klickety-Klack. Grandchildren love it too.. An easy walk from the docks, up the old rail bed to the Falls. Wish the train were still running, but the walk along Back Bay is nice.

@ Tis ...... Thank you very much for the reply, it's not often I ask a question. I thought you might tell us it was used a long time ago in the water ski races from way back when. I seem to recall you a one time said you participated, or is my mind completely shot to hell.

What a beautiful town Wolfeboro would be if all the old hotels were still standing. The shoe factory was huge wasn't it?! People moved down from Canada to work there.

I'm guessing this flag has only 48 stars. A nice photo from the Wolfeboro area from a few years back.

Wow, I remember staying there with my mother and grandparents many, many, many years ago! Breakfast was delivered to your cottage and other meals in the main house.
I am 75 and I was probably 5 or 6 then so other details are a bit sketchy! ![]() ![]() |

That car looks like it must be a 1938 Packard Model 1600, six-cylinder sedan.
What a dull neglected finish ..... needs a good Simonizing!

The vehicle does have "suicide doors" if that helps someone identify the year and the model.
I don't see any railroad tracks so presumably the train no longer ran to the dock (but I think someone said the tracks were removed in the late 20's). |

A colorized version of the same spot.
![]() Question: Anyone know where this is ?? Many years ago I remember fishing here but can not remember where it was exactly. Anyone recognize where it (was/is). I seem to recall it at the very north end of the lake. |

The culvert suggests a location adjacent to the park by 109E and Sandy Road. A wide, boggy brook empties into Wentworth near there.
BTW: FLL's Packard ID is correct ![]() |

I'm pretty sure Brightwaters is now the Windrifter on Lake St.
Are you sure that's Huggins? It looks kind of narrow but maybe it's just the angle we are seeing it from. |
