We found this photo glued to the back of a mounted picture in our archives. In the book “Postcard History Series - Greenport” by David S. Corwin and Gail F. Horton, there is a postcard of the same structure with the sign reading “The Griffing”. The caption informs us that this hotel, located on Front Street, Greenport,
was first The Griffing House, next Hotel Dennis, and then Greenport House pictured above.
