Wentworth-by-the-Sea
This is our staff artist's reproduction of the William Barss painting of Wentworth-by-the-Sea from the 1955 edition of The Ford Treasury of Favorite Recipes from Famous Eating Places. The historic resort hotel was built in 1874 in New Castle, New Hampshire, near Portsmouth. The description in the cookbook boasts a salt-water swimming pool. The recipe is for New Hampshire Fruit Cookies. The hotel was closed in 1982 and nearly demolished. It was saved, however, renovated, and reopened in 2003. The photographs here are from 2009.
