Eastern Slope Inn, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
The Eastern Slope Inn is a three-story wooden structure built in 1926 in the Colonial Revival style in North Conway. It features a prominent front porch with four columns, a hip roof, and a widow's walk at the top, and was designed by architects Harold Mason and Haynes.
The original building on this site was founded as the Hotel Randall in 1854 but burned down in 1902 and was rebuilt in its current Colonial Revival style in 1926. Harvey Dow Gibson purchased the inn in 1937 and transformed North Conway into a major ski destination by developing Cranmore Mountain and bringing famous skiers to the area.
The inn's name refers to its position on the eastern slopes of the White Mountains region. Visitors can see how it reflects the mountain resort tradition that shaped North Conway's identity as a destination for outdoor travelers.
The inn sits on White Mountain Highway, the main road through North Conway, making it easy to spot and access. The property covers a large area with over 200 rooms spread across multiple buildings, complete with maintained gardens and pathways that invite exploration.
The building was designed by architects inspired by Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, which shaped its classical design. The property has a remarkable history of fires and swift rebuilding - destroyed three times by fire and rebuilt three times, reflecting the resilience of the North Conway community.
