Tontine Hotel
Tontine Hotel was a hotel and restaurant in Brunswick, Maine, which was in business between 1828 and 1904. Located at the intersection of Maine Street and School Streets, it was known as the "premier hotel for travelers to Brunswick at the turn of the [20th] century." A new building and the Tontine Mall (completed in 1922) stand in its place today. The hotel, completed in 1828, was four stories tall and was recognized as one of the greatest "landmarks of all Maine." It contained thirty apartments, a banquet hall and stables for fifty horses. Notable guests included United States President Franklin Pierce, Senator James G. Blaine and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The Maine Medical Association was established at the hotel on April 28, 1853, after a meeting of 27 physicians. A plaque atop a granite post was erected near the location on the 150th anniversary of the meeting. It lists the attending physicians. In 1856, the hotel's proprietor was James Berry.
