The Eastern Slope Inn is a historic inn on Main Street in North Conway, Carroll County, New Hampshire.
The three-story wood frame Colonial Revival style hotel was built in 1926. It was designed by Harold E. Mason of Haynes & Mason, architects of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, with apparent inspiration from the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia. It was the third hotel on the site, the first two (dating to 1864) having succumbed to fire. Originally the Hotel Randall, it was purchased in 1937 by Harvey Gibson, who renamed it the Eastern Slope Inn as part of a larger effort to promote downhill skiing in the area. Gibson developed the Cranmore Mountain Resort into one of the most successful ski areas of the time, and used the Eastern Slope Inn as a year-round facility.[2]
In 1977 the inn was purchased by Eastern Mountain Sports and converted into a retail establishment. As part of this conversion many of the public spaces were altered to accommodate retail functions. Around 1982 it was sold to an ownership group, which has rehabilitated the property and converted it back into a hotel.[2]
The inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
