Description

The Summit Stage Office of Glen & Mt Washington Stage Co has been here since 1878. From 1932 to 1937, the Mt Washington Observatory was operated in the stage office. Mt Washington is the highest peak (6288ft) in the Northeastern United States and overlooks the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

The observatory crew's instruments measured a wind velocity of 231 MPH during the great storm of April 12, 1934.

Fortunately there wasn't as many tourists back then. I also don't think they had that tower back then either :-)
