Image of the Hastings-Lyman Hotel and neighboring inns and houses facing York Beach, Maine. According to lglwebsites.com/lymanhastings-lyman, "...the Hastings -Lyman (Hotel) was built around circa 1895 as a hotel/lodging house for summer tourist who came to York Beach for its healthful atmosphere; they came mostly from Dover and Concord, NH. The main activities were bathing, hiking, golfing, playing tennis, dancing, watching baseball games played by teams made up of hotel employees, hiring carriages and horses for outings to Agamenticus, Chase’s pond, etc., walking along the boardwalk, duck hunting on the Nubble, and canoeing the York River. Our present parking area was used as a croquet area. The Hastings-Lyman is built on Union Bluff, just a short walk north of the Union Bluff Hotel."
