Postcard image of the Deer Park...
There were many different Deer Park Hotel postcards produced over the years...here is another that I found...with a view from the right side of the building. I just love the veranda - it is my understanding that it wrapped around the entire hotel...

Deer Park postmark...
It is my understanding that many White Mountain hotels at the turn of the century had their own post offices...here is the Deer Park postmark that is affixed to a postcard.

Franconia Mountains from North Woodstock...
Yet another postcard image of Franconia Notch with the Deer Park Hotel in the foreground. It's interesting to look at the many postcards made over the years and note the different paint and roof colors of the old hotel.

Deer Park Hotel and Stage...
Here is another turn of the century postcard image of the Deer Park Hotel with a stagecoach in front. The horses and stagecoach look to be in the approximate area where Routes 93 & 112 run through now...my, how things change over time...

Speaking of views...
Here is a postcard image of the view from the Mountain View House that used to sit on the hill across from the Baptist Church in North Woodstock. If you look in the upper left - there is the Deer Park! The building to the right is the old schoolhouse (which still exists as condominiums) and is on the right on Rte 112, (heading east) before the bridge that takes you to the village of North Woodstock...
and here is an old image of the schoolhouse and the stone bridge.

Deer Park Hotel with mountains...
A nice old postcard image of the Deer Park Hotel with mountains in the background...
Imagine what how lovely the view was from one of those towers?

Old Deer Park Hotel Pic...
Here is a nice mountain view with the Deer Park Hotel in the background. If I had to take a guess as to where this photo was taken, I would say probably in the vicinity of Parker's Ledge...
Pemigewasset Dam
Here is an old image of the dam that still exists on the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River that runs to the left of the Deer Park property. My guess is the building in the upper right hand corner may have been a caretaker's cottage or servant's quarters. The condo clubhouse sits in the approximate location now.
