Shore Acres is a historic former summer hotel at 791 Lamoine Beach Road in Lamoine, Maine. With a possible construction history dating to about 1800, it is one of the coastal community's oldest buildings, and is the only surviving 19th-century hostelry in the town. Extensively altered in 1887 and operated as an inn between 1887 and 1942 as the Des Isles Inn, it is now a summer rental property, located within walking distance of Lamoine Beach State Park. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
Description and history
Shore Acres is set on the south side of Lamoine Beach Road, near its eastern end in the southern part of the town, between the Lamoine Beach State Park campground and beach parking area. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building that now has relatively vernacular styling. It has a side-gable roof which has a projecting section at the western (right) end, wooden clapboard siding, and an open hip-roofed porch extending across its front (north-facing) facade. Shed-roof additions (both enclosed porches) span the eastern and southern sides. The entry connecting this rear porch to the main house has a projecting vestibule area with Greek Revival styling, suggesting it may once have been the main entrance. The interior reflects late 19th-century tastes, but includes some Federal period trim and wainscoting in the downstairs parlor. There is architectural evidence suggesting that house once had a large central chimney, although there is no evidence for the foundation of one in the partial basement.
Shore Acres is a 1920 American film, based on the stage play by James A. Herne. It was adapted from the play by Arthur J. Zellner.
The silent film was released on May 16, 1920, and runs for 60 minutes, over 6 reels. It was filmed near Laguna, California. It is unknown if any copies of the film survive.
A period newspaper gives the following description:" "Shore Acres" is a story of plain New England folk on the rock ribbed coast of Maine. Martin Berry, a stern old lighthouse keeper, forbids his spirited daughter Helen to speak to the man she loves! It is Martin's fondest hope that Helen will marry Josiah Blake, the village banker. Helen refuses to obey her father, and elopes with
her sweetheart on the "Liddy Ann," a vessel bound down the coast. Her father learns of her departure, and insane with rage, ho prevents his brother, Nathaniel, from lighting the beacon that will guide the vessel safely out through the rocks of the harbor. Desperately the two men battle together in the lighthouse—one to save the vessel, the other to destroy her. A sou'easter Is raging, and during their struggle the "Liddy Ann" goes on the rocks and the passengers are left to the mercy of the storm. The scene fairly makes the nerves tingle with excitement. What befalls thereafter is thrillingly unfolded in this picturization of the greatest American play of the century. "Shore Acres" is a big human drama of thrills and heart throbs, replete with delicious humor and tender pathos."
