Onset, MA - a.k.a. Tesno Beach

 

My family has owned property in the village of Onset since the late 1890's, and continues to own several homes.  At one time, around 1910-1970ish, the family owned the Bay View Inn (Brockton Hotel) on Onset Ave, which was recently demolished and rebuilt as condominiums.

 

Onset is a quiet little victorian village that surrounds most of Onset Bay, but since it's on the mainland side of the Cape Cod Canal, people tend to ignore it and charge across the canal in search of the Cape.  If they only knew what they were missing!

Remember the Polar Dairy and Priest's??  This is a view from the Bay View Inn, which was owned by my family

from the teen's through the early 70's.  This picture was taken by my father, Paul K. Albertine, from the second

story porch.

 

A faded shot of the view from 20 Eleventh Street, showing the beach just east of the boat launch.  This picture

was taken prior to the sewer system work in 1970, and the "unsightly" pump house that now sits among the

trees in this photo.

 

My paternal Grandparents.  This picture is thought to have been taken in Onset,

possibly near the old water tower, and likely in the 1930's or early 40's.

 

This postcard shows the family hotel, the Bayview Inn (aka Brockton Hotel) on the left.

 

My Father, Paul K. Albertine, sitting on the bumper of the family car, in front of 20 Eleventh Street, Onset, MA.

The home directly over top of the car is 20A Eleventh St.  Judging from the age of my Father, this photo would

appear to have been taken pre-WWII.

 Another view of the Brockton Hotel and the Souvinier shop on the corner, some time just after the turn of the century.

This was shortly before my Great-Great-Grandfather bought both properties.  The residence to the far right of the

frame is the cottage that is now at 20A Eleventh Street, moved sometime around 1927.  As the story was passed

down to me from my Great Aunt, My Great-Great-Grandfather went into the bar and hired some men for beer and

sandwiches to move the house the four or five blocks to it's new home.  It was pulled with horses and rolled on

logs.  There the house sits today in pretty close to the same original condition.

This poster was old when I was a kid and I'm, well, old too, so I'm guessing

that this poster is at least 50 years old and possibly older.  This poster is

originally 11" X 17" and I am able to make copies of it in that size.

Please contact me if you would like a copy.  Paul@PaulDAlbertine.com
