Dipsy Baths - Kennebunk Beach, Me. C103 "Made for C.R. Peters"
Image of the commercial structures comprising the roadside part of Dipsy Baths Beach, a section of Kennebunk Beach. The beach itself is to the left out of the frame, accessed by the path in front of the shack. Two women can be seen making their way out to the beach. Signs reading "Dipsy Baths" and advertising beach chair and umbrella rentals hang on and near the buildings. At the time, the shop was owned by C. R. Peters. "Dipsy Baths" recalls the early 20th century name for this area - "bathing" being an old fashion term for wading and swimming. [no title]
