CAHC 2006.8.42Description
Stereo photograph of the Bay View House located at the corner of Elm and Chestnut Streets in Camden, Maine. The Chestnut Street Baptist Church is visible just behind the hotel. The corner of a building with a sign advertising "Millinery and Fancy Goods" can be seen on the left.
The building is three stories with two dormers and five chimneys. A large decorative eagle is over the main entrance. Each window has decorative cornices which appear to be Italianate in style. Two carriages are parked outside, and people are visible standing near the carriages, in the main doorway of the hotel, and posed in the windows.
The hotel does not yet have its large porch or sign, and the circular drive is not there yet. This photograph likely dates from the 1870's to early 1880's.
The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1917.Collection
