As others have noted, they do remind one of Martha's Vineyard, but even more so (for me) of another Methodist summer settlement at Ocean Grove, New Jersey. My husband is from this area,and whenever we go there, I desperately seek to avoid the typical Jersey Shore scenarios by seeking out places like this. There's a huge revival hall surrounded by all these cottages, and the rest of the Victorian city has been nicely preserved.Donnahttp://streetsofsalem.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185045903146972312.post-39221062251048058602012-02-16T11:11:48.133-05:002012-02-16T11:11:48.133-05:00Well, maybe nowadays, but remember that when this ...Well, maybe nowadays, but remember that when this camp was still full of Methodists, they were barred from alcohol, dancing, card-playing, and theatre-going.

The Park Row picture looks like the Maine version of San Francisco's Alamo Square, with its slope of gabled, Victorian houses. Much of the value in a place like this is the intact neighborhood; even one interloping, out-of-scale monstrosity can ruin the effect when it replaces one of the original houses.<br /><br />Is the hotel still standing, or is it long gone?<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
