Description: Old Lyme Connecticut Ferry Tavern Hotel Ferry Road Vintage Postcard The postcard shows the exterior and two views of the Upper Deck overlooking the Connecticut River of the Ferry Tavern Hotel. Matthew Bacon built the inn called Bacon House in 1835 reportedly using bricks that had served as ballast for colonial trading ships. The hotel stood at the end of Ferry Road at the mouth of the Connecticut River. Bacon House later provided rustic accommodations for hunters and anglers. By the 1920s, it had been expanded and renamed Ferry Tavern. Damaged by the 1938 hurricane, Ferry Tavern stood vacant for eight years. In 1946, James and Joseph Viveiros bought and restored the century-old hotel. Ferry Tavern soon enjoyed wide popularity, and on many nights served over 1,000 dinners. In 1957, Life magazine listed the hotel as among “the best in American roadside inns,” noted for its “superb” food. Ferry Tavern was destroyed by fire in 1971. Please review the photos carefully for condition and detail. Normal wear associated with an old postcard have creases, corner bumps, scratches, ink on the front etc.
