Alton Bay Transportation Center This location became a transportation center on August 30, 1851, upon completion of the Cocheco Railroad from Dover to Alton Bay. The first Mount Washington steamboat was built here in 1872. For forty years a railroad terminus, here northbound travelers switched to a stage coach or steamboat. On June 17, 1890 the Lake Shore Railroad opened its line from Alton Bay to Lakeport, only to shut down in 1933. On June 17, 1990 this spot regained its historic name, Railroad Square, to mark the centennial the Lake Shore Railroad. At that time, seven of the line's ten original stations still stood.
Alton Bay Railroad Station was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1983.
