Black Rock House, Cohasset, Massachusetts

A Reproduction of an advertising poster for the BLACK ROCK HOUSE. The original Black Rock House was built in 1707 as depicted in early paintings. About 1840 a branch line of the stagecoach line went the way of Jerusalem Road. The Black Rock House was a welcome stop for stagecoach passengers, especially for summer visitors who were getting in the habit of coming to Cohasset. After about a century the original Black Rock House burnt to the ground. A second building bearing the name Black Rock House was built sometime after the original burnt down and existed until the final Black Rock House was built. In the 1890’s a new hotel bearing the same name was built at the east end of Straits Pond 100 feet inland of the original site. The hotel was torn down in 1968.

Framed posters include drymounting, UV filtering glass, and your choice of frames, wired and ready to hang upon delivery.
