Tip Top House Information Keep Your Parks Clean After being used to house employees and hikers, it was renovated into a historic site. As Access to the summit improved and the Tip Top House fell into disuse, it went through many operations through its life span, including a printing office for Among the Clouds newspaper. Originally it was built as a competing hotel, but eventually was combined with the other as a dining room, barroom and parlor. All materials were hauled nine miles on horses over rough trails from Randolph, N.H. In 1853, the Tip Top House was the second stone house built on the summit. Renovated in 1986 to simulate its first construction with period furnishings. The Historic Tip Top House is located adjacent to the geological summit. See the NH State Parks Pets Policy for more information.
