Ten Historic Towns Thorndyke Hotel (Grand Bank)
[Thorndyke Hotel: Image] The Thorndyke Hotel is another Queen Anne example of a somewhat different idiom from the Harris-Russell house but nonetheless very much in keeping with the tradition. With its "widow's walk" or belvedere on the roof, it is, in part, a recreation of certain New England houses and is named after one of CaptainJohn Thornhill's schooners which was built in New England.

The house was constructed in 1917-18 by Capt. Thornhill on the site of the old Hickman premises. The sunporch was added in 1919. Well maintained and preserved, it, with eleven bedrooms, is admirably suited for its current use as a hotel.
