The Chocorua Lake Basin Historic District is a large historic district surrounding Lake Chocorua in the town of Tamworth, New Hampshire. It includes more than 6,000 acres (2,400 ha), with the lake roughly at its center, extending from Washington Hill Road in the east to Fowles Mill Road and Philbrick Neighborhood Road in the west, and from the town line with Albany in the north to Heavenly Hill Road in the south. The district's significance derives from a large cluster of late 19th and early 20th century summer resort houses built around and near the lake, and the role the area's landowners have played in the conservation of the lake and viewsheds associated with it and nearby Mount Chocorua.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
