Description
The Jocelyn Hotel was built in 1890 by Frank B. Libby then redesigned in 1898 by John Calvin Stevens. The original appearance was boxy, and similar in design to the Southgate Hotel. Stevens added Victorian features of towers and trim. It was built on the opposite end of Scarborough Beach from The Atlantic House and the Kirkwood Hotel.
It was destroyed by fire in the early hours of July 27, 1909. The fire started at Alonzo Googins house and place of business which was between the Jocelyn and Southgate Hotels. There was no organized fire department in town so nothing could be done to save the hotel.
