Very nice, my G, Grandfather had home design, cabinet making business going in Biddeford around 1900. I have offended wondered if any of the homes he built are still around today. There is a Grayson St. In Biddeford. I often wonder how it got it name ?
Wonderful way of showing this east coast classic in the light of days gone by. It saddens me a little that we cannot ever go back to this - however anyone who has spent time there has their own summertime memories to hold onto. It is truly amazing what a century brings with it for change. The fires were so devastating... Great video!
What magnificent buildings! And I had no idea the pier was ever that long. Love seeing the women in the ocean with full length dress bathing suits. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos.

I grew up in Portland and this place was magical as a kid. Live in Los Angeles now but my heart will always be in Maine. Tks for the video.

Fantastic! Really get a feel for what it looked like back then. Thanks for sharing this.
Looking for info on "Old Orchard House"...I have a really ornate skeleton key from there with the room number.
I watch this video every year before I go up there...
Does anyone remember a ride at Old Orchard beach in which actual mules would pull carts underground with people in them? I used to go on it.
It was called the Coal Mine and was right underneath Noah's Ark, it all burned down in a fire.

Yeah, but easier to get a slice of pizza now.
I was a breakfast cook at the LaFayette Hotel right on the Beach at Old Orchard the Summer of 1970.
