My View of Life on the Dock
photos: The Inn at Good Harbor Beach (formerly dba Good Harbor Beach Inn) in March and April 2025. The stepped silhouette on Salt Island Road was retained. The Main building was raised on pylons due to flood mitigation.

March 2024. Gloucester, Mass.
Good Harbor Beach Inn is undergoing a big repair, reno and rebuild. Its future footprint and layout with the signature terraced design will be the same, as you can see in how it’s been framed up as of March 2024. The demo of the main building is still to come and will be raised 18 inches per the newest FEMA flood map guidelines. A completion date and exterior design details are not ready for release. Although reservations won’t be available in the summer of 2024, there’s hope for the fall 2024. For sure they’ll be booking summer 2025.

Spring time in Gloucester! Right whales visible from the shore May 5 and May 6, 2022. Not as close as 2018, but we could still hear the blows!

White out walk. Strong winds on the coast are keeping the snow inches down, and everywhere swaths of bare ground alternate with drifts ankle high to mid thigh. Snow walls are building at intersections as the busy plows stay ahead of this heavy winter battering.
Answer below break.
Nice! Foot wash and outdoor shower rinse station added to Witham St. is a great add. This public beach amenity bookends the one installed by the footbridge on Nautilus Road summer 2017.
From where I was standing in Gloucester neighborhoods, here are several homes (and one gallery) with cut out shutters; beginning with the green shutters seen on the Beauport, Sleeper-McCann house, one of Gloucester’s two National Historic Landmarks, and a Historic New England property.
Beyond shutters: beginning with “Lookout Hill”, estate built by Natalie and John Hays Hammond, Sr :
