Description
On the three-cornered lot where Main and School Streets meet in Lubec, this large house can be found. At different times it has functioned as both a tourist facility and a boarding house.
According to their daughter Dorothy (1919-2008), John and Myrtle (Morang) Blanch bought the house from Alvin Ramsdell in 1936. John Blanch (1883-1941) was a bookkeeper for the American Can Company and active in community life, including the local Grange and the Masonic fraternities. In the book “200 Years of Lubec History 1776-1976,” Dorothy states that Myrtle was still operating the tourist home in 1975 at the age of 90.
Note the steeple on the Congregational Church, right background.
