Eustis

Cathedral Pines Tea Room, Eustis, Maine, exterior, RPPC postcard front. This extremely rustic tea room, with its amateur signage and lovingly-tended front flower garden, takes its name from the Cathedral Pines wilderness area. Note the twin lightning rods mounted on the roof and the old Bell Telephone Long Distance Service sign mounted on a pine tree.

Kennebunkport

Here is a prime example of the New England (and British Commonwealth) inclination to repurpose old buildings as cunning tea rooms. There are many tea rooms in old barns and granaries, and quite a few, like this one, inside an old grist mill... which is why it is called The Old Grist Mill Tea Room.

Winthrop

Fernwood Cottage Tea Room, Winthrop, Maine, exterior, RPPC postcard front, 1920s.
