Formerly the Solomon Pendexter House, The
Elmwood Inn was managed by
William
and Elizabeth Wyman. They also operated a farm on
the property. This postcard dates to about 1900. The
Elmwood was (is) located just across the road from todays scenic
vista and east of yesteryears Langdon Hotel. Elmwood was
purchased by the
Cannell
family in 1938 and renamed
The Intervale Inn. John Cannell was a youngster
at that time and he and his dad would meet the ski trains in
North Conway every Friday night to pick up guests.
In 1948 most of the Inn was destroyed by fire, but what did not
burn is still there today. I have been told if you go into
the basement of this building the scars of the fire are still
visible. John Cannell has been known to give public
talks about his memories of old time lodging in Intervale.
