Hotel
History ~
Built in the 1880’s, Barncastle was the first
of Blue Hill’s grand summer cottages. Known
also as the Kline Cottage and Ideal Lodge, the sprawling
home was designed by Boston Architect George Clough
for Virgil & Effie Kline, she the eccentric
manager of the Boston Ideal Opera Company. Her love
of the stage is reflected in this highly theatrical
home. Barncastle is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places and is now operated as a Hotel
and Restaurant, still welcoming summer visitors
to Blue Hill more than 120 years later. |
