Unveiling the Lost Gem: Summit Spring Hotel of Harrison, Maine
The history of Harrison, Maine, is intertwined with the rise and fall of the once-grand Summit Spring Hotel. This wasn't just any hotel; it was a destination built around a natural spring famed for its "healing waters." Let's delve into its fascinating past:
A Legacy Built on Natural Wonders:
The story begins with Summit Spring itself, a natural spring with a rich history dating back over 228 years. Renowned for its supposed medicinal properties, the spring's reputation drew visitors seeking a taste of its "magical" waters. By 1888, a 55-room hotel materialized near the spring, catering to tourists from major cities seeking rejuvenation.
A Grandiose Hotel for Refined Guests:
The Summit Spring Hotel quickly gained recognition for its grandeur. Built in the late 1800s, it boasted 300 guest rooms, elevators, and even a steam-powered generator for electricity – a marvel for its time. The hotel became a popular summer retreat, with guests enjoying luxurious accommodations and the allure of the spring's waters.
An Unexpected Twist: A Haven for the Excluded:
Interestingly, the Summit Spring Hotel played a unique role in welcoming Jewish guests who weren't always accepted at other prominent resorts. This aspect adds another layer to the hotel's legacy, highlighting its role in offering hospitality beyond societal norms.
The Elusive Ending:
Despite its initial success, the Summit Spring Hotel's story took a turn. Financial difficulties and changing trends in the hospitality industry led to its closure in the mid-20th century. Today, the grand structure is no more, leaving behind a captivating historical echo.
