THE DIXEY COLLECTION: The Rockmere Hotel falls as the Glover Landing rises

The Marblehead Current is proud to partner with photographer and historian Dan Dixey, who regularly shares photos of Marblehead from his extensive collection, along with information about each shot.

The first photo shows the demolition of the old Rockmere Hotel in 1965. A red car is parked in front of the hotel.

The second photo from Aug. 27, 1966, captures the construction of Glover Landing. It features a building under construction with wooden framing on a rocky outcrop by the sea. Multiple boats are anchored in the foreground, and residential buildings line the shore in the background.
