Welcome!
In his 1930s book, John Mead Howells explored the iconic homes of the 17th, 18th, & early 19th centuries in the area of seacoast New Hampshire and southern Maine. Our rich architectural heritage expands well beyond 1830s that will be explored and shared here.
The Goldenrod candy counter, soda fountain, and lunch room have been an iconic destination at York, Maine's Short Sands Beach since it first opened in 1896. At night, the building takes on a special character where you can watch and follow the various stages of salt water taffy production through glowing plate glass windows or look beyond the copper pots and antique machinery to the servers filling boxes of wax paper wrapped kisses or pounds of creamy fudge. The glowing neon signs on the building welcome visitors with their cheerful color combinations of greens, reds, pinks, and oranges. Current zoning laws do not allow for neon to be used in the area today, thankfully these fine examples of glass and gas are grandfathered and still in use.
