Description: The first Summit House of the Mount Tom Railroad, as seen in an 1898 postcard. Note the many flags adorning its roof line, including Cuba, Germany, Canada (pre-maple leaf flag), among possible others. This was the Summit House which President McKinley and his wife would visit in 1899. However the grandest summit house often associated with the mountain with its iconic onion dome would not be built until 1901 following the October 9, 1900 fire which destroyed this one.
