The Lookout House hotel looked out upon the gardens toward the Gulf of Maine from atop Israel’s Head in Ogunquit, Maine.

Lookout House began as a boarding house and was bough tin 1907 by Harry L. Merrill of a hotelier family from Scarborough, who converted it to a hotel. The Merrills owned and operated other inns in the town, including the Beachmere Inn and the Ontio Hotel. Harry ran the hotel with his wife Harriet during the summer season. It was expanded during the Great Depression and bought by Merrill’s granddaughter, Louesa, and her husband Martin Mace in 1964. After the Maces sold the hotel in 1977, it was converted to condominiums.

The caption reads, "View across Lookout Gardens, Ogunquit, Maine."

The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
