Lookout House began as a boarding house atop Israel’s Head in Ogunquit. Harry L. Merrill, of a hotelier family from Scarborough, bought the house in 1907 and 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. Source: beachmereinn.com/about/history/
