My family — like so many other New England families — has our own Mount Washington Hotel history.

In 1992, my then little girls walk onto the sweeping veranda for the first time and are astounded. “Mommy,” one asks, “is the princess home today?”

1999: My husband and I travel without kids for the first time since having them. We stay in the famed Room 401 (two towers in one room), play tennis on the red clay courts and celebrate our temporary parenting freedom.

The classic red roof with tower design harkens back to its beginning, when Joseph Stickney built it as one of the area’s grand hotels.

Then, it was remarkable — boasting 2,000 doors, 2,000 windows and over 11 miles of plumbing. When electricity was added, Thomas Edison oversaw the installation. It had its own phone system and post office, and both of those remain today (It’s a must to send a…
