1950s - Corner of White Oak Rd. and Lake St. - Laconia - photo by Win Wyatt
White Oaks Road goes up the hill at left, past the ornamental windmill. Just 50 years ago, in early April, 1961, the restaurant had reopened after major renovations. Earlier, in the 12 years that the Thomas Family had already owned the property, the structure had been ‘improved one year, revamped the next, remodeled later’ and then enlarged in 1959. Initially, The Citizen recalled, the restaurant had been ‘hardly more than a lunch counter surrounded by a ledge.’
