Sea View House -- Kennebunk Beach, Maine C66
Image shows a large, commodious Colonial Revival inn on a curve in the road, one of several inns serving the tourist trade on Maine's southern coast after it became a family vacation destination beginning in the 1870s. Kennebunk was popular for its sandy beaches, quaint town center, and relative proximity to Boston and lower New England via train and automobile.
