ortened version of Eliza Grant and Kit Hickey’s application to have the Bunker Building/former North Conway House listed in the National Register of Historic Places:
The North Conway House is best-known in town as the Bunker Plumbing and Supply Building, because the Bunker family ran their business on the first floor, while residing on the upper floors.
