About this postcard

The photograph shows the Poland Spring House, a long wooden resort hotel with a central domed tower, corner turrets, and rows of awnings. Small figures of guests are scattered across the broad lawns and curving walkways, and a flag flies above the dome. Poland Spring was a Maine resort known for its mineral spring, and the hotel's scale and formal grounds reflect its role as a vacation destination in the early 20th century.
