Located on Appledore Island at the Isles of Shoals, the Appledore House was built in 1847 by Thomas Laighton and Levi Thaxter. It opened June 15, 1848. The Appledore became a busy resort, and in 1905 delegates in Portsmouth for the Russo-Japanese Peace Treaty discussions visited for a reception. The hotel was lost to a fire in 1914.
According to Celia Thaxter, in Celia Thaxter, Among the Isles of Shoals [Boston: J.R. Osgood and Company, 1873], as late as 1873, "Philip Babb, or some evil-minded descendant of his, haunted Appledore."
Inscription reads, "Appledore House, Shoals. 1849."
