Sea View Farm, Rockport, Mass., circa 1912
Seaview Farm, at 38 South St. in Rockport, is known today as a boarding stable. It has been home to seven generations of the Lane family, who established it in 1838 as a dairy farm. In the 1970s, Charles L. … Continue reading
The Linwood Hotel, Pigeon Cove, Mass., 1905
Just a year after this picture was taken in 1905, the Linwood Hotel burned to the ground. It was built in 1877, the third major hotel to be built — after the Pigeon Cove House in 1871 and the Ocean … Continue reading
Panorama, Straitsmouth, Rockport, Mass., circa 1912
Here is a bird’s-eye view looking down Marmion Way towards Gap Head, Straitsmouth Island and Gap Cove. To the left, on Gap Head, you see the old Straitsmouth Inn. Beyond the inn is Straitsmouth Island, where you can make out … Continue reading
The Manning House, Rockport, Mass., circa 1943
A post earlier this week talked about William N. Manning, the Rockport resident who once manufactured melodeons — a kind of organ — in a factory in Millbrook Meadow. In this postcard, you see the house where Manning lived. It … Continue reading
Two More of the Rocky Shores, as a Private Estate in 1910
I previously posted a more sweeping view of this one-time summer estate on Eden Road, a home now known as the Rocky Shores Manor. That previous post received a comment from Christine Kostka Cohen, who grew up in the house … Continue reading
The Original Cape Hedge Inn and Annex, Rockport, Mass., 1953
This is the original Cape Hedge Inn, at the very end of South Street, just above Cape Hedge beach. (A different hotel, a bit further up South Street, uses that name now.) This postcard was published by Virginia Cleaves Little. … Continue reading
The Rocky Shores in 1910, When it Was a Private Estate
If this grand estate looks familiar to you, it is because it still stands on Eden Road, where it is now known as the Rocky Shores Manor. At the time of this photo, which was around 1910, the estate was … Continue reading
The Straitsmouth Inn, Rockport, Mass., 1908
In a post yesterday, I mentioned the Straitsmouth Inn, which stood on Gap Head from 1906 until it burned to the ground on New Year’s Eve in 1958. Built and operated by Ella S. Wilkinson, the inn could accommodate 100 guests. Postmarked … Continue reading
Turk’s Head Inn, Rockport, Mass., 1905
The Turk’s Head Inn was once Rockport’s grandest getaway. As I noted in an earlier post, when the U.S. Navy fleet and visiting dignitaries came to town, this is where they came to be feted. The 2007 book, Summer by the … Continue reading
