Description: Rare Tip Top House Glass Negative Mt Washington 1880-1900. (YOU WONT FIND ANOTHER LIKE THIS) The Tip Top House of Mount Washington is a historic building located at the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, United States. It was built in 1853 as a hotel and has since served as a shelter, restaurant, and tourist attraction. The Tip Top House was constructed by a group of investors led by businessman Joel Whitney, who saw an opportunity to capitalize on the growing interest in mountain tourism. The original structure was a simple two-story wooden building with a gabled roof. Over the years, the Tip Top House underwent several expansions and renovations to keep up with demand. In 1869, a third story was added, and in 1883, a new dining room was built. In the early 1900s, a dormitory was added to accommodate hikers and climbers. During World War II, the Tip Top House was used as a weather station by the U.S. Army Signal Corps. After the war, it was restored and reopened to the public. Today, the Tip Top House is a popular destination for hikers and tourists, offering stunning views of the White Mountains and the surrounding landscape. It is also a reminder of the early days of mountain tourism in New Hampshire and the ingenuity and perseverance of those who made it possible. Please view photos carefully.
