Historic 1890’s Antique Colonial with spectacular views of the lake. Watch the loons and the sunrise from the 40’x10′ enclosed front porch. This home served as a boarding home for ice cutters. The ice from Lovell Lake was transported by train to the Boston market where it was distributed to homes and businesses for the icebox refrigerators until after the introduction and widespread use of the electric refrigerator. The ice cutters ate and slept at this house. They wore sharp spiked cleats on their shoes. The cleats were not removed upon entering the home and cleat marks/indentations are still very prominent on the wood floors today. The 7 bedrooms were paid for and occupied by supervisors, and the workers threw down their bedrolls on the attic floor. It is believed to be the last surviving building from the ice-cutting era. The great room with its fireplace served as a dance hall for the sock hops and other local events. Access the snowmobile trails from your ROW across the lake.
