The Mount Washington Hotel was constructed between 1900 and 1902 at a cost of $1.7 million (approximately $59.8 million today) by Joseph Stickney, a native of Concord, New Hampshire who had made a fortune before the age of 30 as coal broker. The hotel was one of several resorts that served as a luxurious getaway for urban dwellers looking to escape the city.
