The first bed and breakfast boarders arrived at York Beach in 1857. The Sea Cottage circa 1869 was the first of many guest houses. Soon after, hotels and grand hotels were established including: The Ocean House, Rockaway, Union Bluff, Atlantic House, Hiawatha, Kearsage, Bald Head Cliff House, and the Passaconaway Inn. Sadly, most of these have burned down or been demolished. The Cliff House, The Atlantic Hotel, and the Union Bluff were all rebuilt relatively faithful to the original designs and are still operating today. The Ocean House, after a disastrous fire, was rebuilt as condominiums. Steam railroads arrived in the 1890’s (Railroad Avenue) and within a few years the beach was forever changed by the arrival the motor car. In 1896, Edward and Mattie Talpey established The Goldenrod on the very site where it stands today.
