For your consideration is a nice stereoview titled \"Central House, Montgomery Sqr.\". This is a great image looking (at an angle) at the front of the hotel (with the porch and balcony full of people) and the buildings further down the street. Note the \"Lodging Rooms\" sign on the awning and the letters \"S E\" on the roof. this offers a great 3D effect. The view waspublished by C.H. Shute & Son, Edgartown, Mass. There is a tiny piece of the upper corner of the left image missing, and a small spot on the lower portion of the right image. You will also find corner wear, and overall soiling.

Please view the enlargeable scans carefully and contact me with any questions.

The Central House was one of the first major hotels constructed in the Wesleyan Grove Campground (now the Martha\'s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association area) in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts built in the 1860\'s.

Early Oak Bluffs: The area began as a Methodist camp meeting ground where attendees stayed in tents. This eventually evolved into a community of permanent, ornate wooden \"gingerbread\" cottages and large hotels.
A Prominent Hotel: The Central House was one of several large hotels built to accommodate the increasing number of summer visitors. It competed with other establishments such as the Providence House, the Howard House, and the Wesley House.
Location: It was located in the commercial area within the campground known as Montgomery Square.
