Castine's residual charm, with fine examples of early 18th century Federal & Georgian architecture from the prosperous era of shipbuilding, drew summer "rusticators" in the late 19th and early 20th century as it does now!

Although built as a summer "cottage" for a single family, the Manor, once called "Allview," has been a place for summer visitors since the 1940's, which makes a long history of sharing the spendor of an era with many a traveler. Converted to a bed and breakfast inn in the 1990's, all guest rooms have private bathrooms and several have working fireplaces.
