from Alton's "Main Street" - a monthly publication - Volume XX Numer 10 - The historical photograph feature. "HISTORIC ALTON - This photo was submitted to Main Street by Edwin Kimball of Alton. He wrote a brief note explaining where the photo was taken, which follows.
"The enclosed photo was taken in September 1898 about where the Pavillion is now in Alton Bay, looking up the lake with Sandy Point on the left under the trees. Dan Kelly's boathouse is on the East Shore just to the left of center with the Kelly house up the hill to the right.
I can not identify the cottage on the shore to the right with any present day cottage. It must have been moved or demolished before Route 28A was built in the early 1930s because 28A goes right along the shore from the Town Beach up past where Oak Birch Inn used to be. Note that the Kelly Boathouse was the only one on the East shore of the bay, at least well past Sandy Point.
The people in the boat, from left to right, are: Richard H. Kimball, my father (1885-1963); Grenville (? weird name) Kimball, my Uncle; Richard D. Kimball, my Grandfather, died 1920; a family friend; John V. Kimball, my Uncle; Marion Kimball, my Aunt; unknown lady; Grandmother Kimball." http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo...at=531&page=10
