A long, many-winged hotel with mansard-roofed towers and a broad veranda stands above dense shrubbery in New Castle, New Hampshire.

The Hotel Wentworth was a summer resort on the New Hampshire coast near Portsmouth. In 1905 it housed the Russian and Japanese delegations during the Portsmouth Peace Conference, the negotiations that ended the Russo-Japanese War and produced the Treaty of Portsmouth.
