This station is a US Dept. of Interior Gaging Station disk, unstamped, set in the north side of the southwest pier of the M/S Mt. Washington boat and railroad station, on the boardwalk at Weirs Beach in Laconia, NH. I found this disk by chance, and there is an NHDOT datasheet for it. The details:
THE STATION IS LOCATED IN LACONIA. TO REACH THE STATION FROM THE JUNCTION OF U.S. ROUTE 3 AND STATE ROUTE 11-B SOUTH IN LACONIA,GO NORTH FOR 0.1 MI ON ROUTE 3 TO JUNCTION OF LAKESIDE AVENUE, TURN RIGHT AND GO NORTHEAST FOR 0.25 MI ON LAKESIDE AVENUE TO THE M/S MOUNT WASHINGTON RAILROAD STATION AND THE MARK ON THE RIGHT. THE STATION IS A STANDARD USDI GAGING STATION DISK UNSTAMPED SET IN THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SOUTHWEST PIER TO THE RAILROAD STATION.
If you go downstairs to the restrooms on the right side of the building, you can see the disk below you while looking over the east railing on the platform outside the restrooms. The disk was recovered in good condition. The USGS gaging station house is close by.
