“Occupying the major portion of Cape Ann is the nationally renowned fishing and tourism city of Gloucester, its rugged, scenic southern coastline extending from Magnolia Point to Gloucester Harbor, Eastern Point, Bass Rocks, and Cape Hedge. Thirty-one miles from Boston, initially on the Eastern and then the Boston & Maine railroads, this venerable community, including Magnolia Point…, became the North Shore’s most significant summer resort center in the mid to late nineteenth century, boasting numerous single-season residences and the largest concentration of resort hotels between Boston and the southern coastline of Maine.” - “Summer By The Seaside: The Architecture of New England Coastal Resort Hotels, 1820-1950” by Bryant F. Tolles, Jr., p. 102-3, University Press of New England – 2008
