Where in Maine?

This ghost of a grand hotel is now a landmark in a resort community. Recognize it?

With its turrets and gables soaring over the surf, this old place looks like one of the grand Maine hotels of yore. The sort of seaside inn you might have checked into after Memorial Day, savored a summer of relaxation, and then returned to the city at the end of August with spirits rejuvenated. Where the curtains fluttered in the breeze and the rocking chairs on the porch were always occupied; where jackets were required for dinner and the social calendar was quickly filled. And that's exactly what this imposing place once was for a time.
