One can see the sweeping view in the postcard above. The Crosby House is on the right. In an August 18, 1891, newspaper article, the guests at the Crosby House reportedly enjoyed a “hop” (party) at one of the boat shops the previous Saturday night. The owners’ grandson Harold Crosby eventually took over the Crosby House. Its reputation for being a hospitable place continued with a July 17, 1920, masquerade party, at which Harold Crosby was crowned king.

A guest at the Crosby House sent this postcard of the bathing beach at Wianno with its wooden bathhouses to the right. The sender wrote, “Am boarding at the Crosby House, Osterville, for all summer. Charlie and Helen coming here for August. Sallie going to Plymouth. Sorry I can not go and see you. Am having a fine rest. Boys love it. With love, Ethel.” The card, sent to an address in North Weymouth, Massachusetts, is stamped July 24 at 7:00 a.m. The year has worn off. The benefits of a respite by the sea attracted many summer residents to Osterville.
