This is the nearby Gunnison House on Center Road in Goshen.

Built in 1779, It has recently been restored by the O'Brien's

Captain John Gunnison is Goshen’s “favorite son.” He gave his name to many features in Colorado & Utah including Gunnison Utah, Gunnison Colorado (which is the County

Seat of Gunnison County Colorado), the Gunnison River and the Gunnison National Park in Colorado.

“Last of the schoolhouses to be built was that in District No. 5, about 1841.

It is believed that the Gunnison’s were largely instrumental in the formation of the

district and the erection of the schoolhouse, partly as an accommodation

to the families on the nearby farms, but basically an attempt to escape

contamination from the low morality then prevailing in North Goshen.”

From The Goshen NH Town History

This image was copied from one used for a cover of the Goshen Town Annual Report. It shows the Schoolhouse’s Gable End on the distant hillside

The image was likely taken from the road in front of the Gunnison House on Center Road

Mount Sunapee Schoolhouse

My understanding is that this image was taken around 1925. The cleared sloping area to the left of the

Schoolhouse is the subject property when it was a pasture

In the early 1970s, the Cote’s, a couple from Conn remodeled the School house into a cottage

The School house is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places as “The Cote House”

The firebox is in good condition. It has a damper and the flue is tile-lined

This is a window in the Schoolhouse looking SSE over the neighbor’s “farm pond” and the hills beyond

Throw a little sunflower seed around… and you can have up to 40 of “the neighbors” over for lunch

This is a view to the ESE of the surrounding hills from the proposed “Lot 2” – The lower of the two proposed lots

This ridgeline in the distance is the Monadnock – Sunapee Greenway

It is the watershed divide that divides waters between the Merrimack and

Connecticut Rivers’ watersheds

The Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail Club maintains a 48-mile hiking

trail between these summitsSee: http://www.msgtc.org/map

This is a view to the SSW of the Gunnison Lake and the surrounding hills from the proposed “Lot 2” – The lower of the two proposed lots

Survey and proposed 2-lot Subdivision Plan I had prepared in 2003

State Approvals for the 2-Lot Subdivision, Well Sites and Septic Plans are in hand

USGS Quad Excerpt Note: Southerly slope of

the land. Property Boundary indicated is an approximate overlay only

The slope appears more Southwesterly than it is as “True South” (i.e. “Solar South) is approximately 16 degrees

west of “Magnetic South” at this location. Actually, the slope of the hill conforms rather closely with “True South”

Elevation of the Schoolhouse is

approximately 1,364 ft above Sea Level

Elevation of Mt Sunapee is

approximately 2,726 ft above Sea Level

The Schoolhouse is located at aprox:
