John Burgum, the artist, worked mainly for the Abbot-Downing Company that made the famous Concord Stagecoaches. However, he and his son Edwin also made things, painted and even invented items including "Burgum's Patent Device" For keeping Pork, Beef, Pickles, etc. under brine.
(I am lucky enough to have the lid of one of these "Burgum's Patent Devices" still inscribed as above in the first poster).

John Burgum - Ornamental Painter
John Fulton Burgum, son of John and Emma Burgum. He worked as a mechanic, a painter and an upholsterer at various points in his life.
This sterioview is of the summit house on Mount Kearsarge, North Conway, New Hampshire. It is believed the image dates from 1875-1882. The scene shows the building with structural supports against the walls and over the roof. A hand stamp on the back indicates ownership of the image to John F. Burgum, who may well have taken the picture.
The structure was originally built in about 1848 for accomadation and then later abandoned. In 1869 it was purchased by Andrew Dinsmore to convert into a hotel. Was this a failed attempt to stabilise or support the building? It was blown down in a storm in 1883.
