Divided back, unused. Condition: This is an original photo postcard, not a copy or reproduction. It is in excellent condition. Comments: In the late 19th-century Dyke Mountain Inn evolved from the farms of Oliver and Kimball Dike, two brothers who had adjacent farm houses on the north side of the Saddleback Hills, several miles to the west of Sebago Lake. The two farms were relatively large, and contained several barns and out buildings amid cleared fields and hardwood and pine forests. In the 1886 Oliver Dike started to develop his homestead into a summer inn. Additions were built, plumbing piped, a dining room and professional kitchen installed, and a darkroom built for the cameraist who did not want to wait to develop film at home. The Dyke Mountain Inn catered to sportsmen and fishermen, and city dwellers who desired to drink in the fresh air and clean water. Oliver Dike died in 1896 and left the business to his daughter Grace L. Dike. At some point between 1906 and 1908 G.L. Dike (as she was known professionally) changed the name to Dyke Mountain Farm reportedly because she thought it was more elegant. In 1927 the Inn at Dyke Mountain Farm burned, along with many of its support buildings and barns.
