About This Vintage Postcard
Step into the golden age of coastal luxury with this vibrant linen-era postcard featuring the original Samoset Hotel. Located on a scenic peninsula overlooking Penobscot Bay, this grand wooden resort was a premier destination for summer travelers for nearly a century. The image captures the hotel's impressive Victorian architecture, complete with its signature turrets, sprawling verandas, and bright orange awnings. Sadly, the historic structure shown here was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1972, but the Samoset name lives on through the modern resort that now stands on this legendary site.
