Description
The Bar Harbor Hotel has been through many renovations and locations since it's inception in 1874. It began as a social club and reading room, and prospered until World War I.
The building operated as a yacht club and shore club until Bar Harbor Hotel Corporation purchased the property in 1948 and opened the Bar Harbor Hotel in 1950, about the same time Tichnor Brothers published this postcard.
In 1987 David J. Witham bought the hotel and renamed it the Bar Harbor Inn. The entire area was remodeled in 1999.
