Samoset House, 1915
The first vacation hotel in Plymouth was the diminutive Samoset House, built by the Old Colony Railroad from 1845 to 1846 as a tourism investment. Situated with a water view near the town center at Court and Samoset streets, this nicely articulated 100-guest structure, marked by its late Greek Revival columns and other elements, met lodging needs for almost a century, falling victim to fire on 29 April 1939.
