DescriptionVisions of Former Glory Wentworth by the Sea (3512382499).jpg
Recently renovated Grand Hotel.
The hotel was built in 1874 by Daniel Chase, a distiller from Somerville, Massachusetts, and for the first two years was named Wentworth Hall. The Wentworth Hotel was bought by Frank Jones in 1879 and further expanded. With Jones's death the hotel was sold in 1902
In 1905 the hotel housed the Russian and Japanese delegations who concluded the Treaty of Portsmouth to end the Russo-Japanese War. Both delegations were welcomed at no charge, with Frank Jones' executor Judge Calvin Page providing hospitality as Jones' will stipulated he should. The final document was signed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where the formal negotiations took place, but the final language of the treaty was drafted and the armistice ending the fighting was signed at the Wentworth. In addition, the Japanese hosted an "International Love Fest" at the hotel on the signing
