Historic New Hampshire general store up for auction
– canadianbusiness.com
BATH, N.H. – A historic general store and tourist attraction in New Hampshire that closed earlier this year is up for auction.
The Brick Store in Bath was built in the late 1700s or early 1800s. It closed after several years of financial hardship, and is up for auction on Wednesday.
The store is believed to be one of the oldest continually-operated general stores in America.
There’s also a gift shop and a 1950s-style ice cream shop on the property, along with space formerly used as an art studio and apartment.
Auctioneer Paul McInnis Inc. lists its assessed real estate value as $326,400.

Learn, save, invest and prosper with My Own Advisor.
Net worth is one of the most widely used metrics to report financial progress. This calculation is commonly used in part because it’s a simple and easy metric to understand and apply:
Net worth = total assets – total liabilities.
I recently wrote about the general merits of net worth calculations here – it’s one of the things I think many prospective savers should do before they consider investing.
Your net worth value will provide you with an indicator of your financial situation. High net worth means your assets far exceed liabilities; that’s a great thing. Low or negative net worth means you owe significant amounts of debt; not desirable.
Monitoring your net worth from time to time, over time, will provide you with a general indicator if you’re trending in the right direction but it may not provide you with all the information you need to fund your financial future.
