About this postcard

A long, many-windowed wooden summer hotel with a rooftop cupola stands on the grassy crest of Bald Head Cliff, a granite headland on the southern Maine coast, with surf breaking against the rocks below. The Cliff House at Bald Head Cliff is a historic resort hotel established in 1872, and the building shown here is one of the large wooden structures that housed Gilded Age summer visitors before later fires and rebuilds. The view is a classic early-20th-century seaside hotel scene of York, Maine.
