|  Daniel Leland Jr. House Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: According to Robert Leland, father of Patti Leland of Trenton, in 1849 this house was moved to its present location at 945 Bar Harbor Road, Map 19 – Lot 6 from about a quarter of a mile closer to Mount Desert Island (probably near 1007 Bar Harbor Road, Map 15 – Lot 16). The house was probably moved by Daniel Leland Jr. (1929-). The 1840 census has both Daniel Leland, born in 1874, and Daniel Leland Jr., born in 1829, living in the houses. Reportedly the house was built c. 1802 although this information has yet to be verified. When Willis Ballard photographed the house in 1962 it was owned by Maurice Clements. The house is now [2014] painted red and the original outbuildings are gone, perhaps due to fire, according to Patti Leland. The Bar Harbor Road has been widened so the house now lies closer to the road, although it is more difficult to see as trees have grown up around it. [show more] | ||

|  Steamer Pemaquid at the Edge of the Ice Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: "“The Maine Central fleet expanded quickly from the turn of the century until 1913. “Pemaquid” was the first of the new ships, having been purchased from the Long Island Railroad in 1901. She was a 132-foot steel-hilled single-screw steamer built in 1893 by Neafie and Levy of Philadelphia, with the distinction of being the last of the fleet to carry the Maine Central flag… Maine Central’s ships were sold off one by one until by 1931 the reliable “Pemaquid”, which during her thirty years with the railroad was used year-round, filling in for the seasonal vessels on the Mt. Desert run, was the only ship left. She was sold south that year and eventually was re-engined with a diesel. She lasted a long time, operating in the New York area into the 1960’s. The Eastern [Steamship Lines] threw in the towel three years later, in 1934. Hereafter the Maine trains would stop in Ellsworth, and Mt. Desert Ferry, the great bustling rail and steamboat facility, would fall silent.” - Mount Desert - An Informal History Edited by Gunnar Hansen, Maritime Transportation section written by Peter B. Bell, p. 166-167, 169 - 1989 ""The steamer ""Pemaquid"" was built in 1893 as the ""Long Island."" Shortly after the turn of the century, she was placed in service on the Maine coast by the Maine Central Railroad. The vessel left Maine in 1931. [She operated on the Hudson River and last ran] as a dieselized ferry to Block Island."" - ""Steamboats On The Hudson River"" by William H. Ewen, Jr., Arcadia Publishing, May 30, 2011, p. 89."

| 1932 Criterion Theatre Southwest Harbor Public Library |

|  1932 Criterion Theatre Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: The Criterion Theatre is a cinema, performance theatre, and venue located on Cottage Street in Bar Harbor, Maine. It opened in June 1932 featuring vaudeville performances and movies during a time when Bar Harbor's summer scene was at its height. Today it is one of only two Art Deco theaters in the state of Maine and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 760 seat theatre was built for a convicted bootlegger named George McKay. After his release from federal prison, McKay solicited bids for constructions of a glamorous movie palace. The high bid of $95,206 was beat by Bunker & Savage Architects of Augusta, Maine who built the theatre in just six months for a contract price of $58,000. That's about $900,000 in today's dollars, a surprisingly low figure for such a magnificent structure. A $2 million dollar contribution from an anonymous donor in 2014 made possible the purchase and restoration of the Criterion which now operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to safeguarding this historic space for stories, storytellers, and audiences. Today, almost everything in the building is original or as close as possible to it, including the light fixtures, curtains, seats, and stencils on the ceiling. [show more] | ||

| Interior Panorama of 1932 Criterion Theatre Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: George Soules photographed the interior of the Criterion from the balcony with a Canon 5D Mark III DSLR and a Canon 24mm tilt/shift lens using available light, which there was little of. To the naked eye, the space does not look nearly this bright. The first image (angle view) is a four-slice panorama with a 140° field of view. It is a composite of 12 different frames. The second image (straight-on view) is a six-slice panorama with a 190° field of view. It is a composite of 18 different frames. Both images were shot at f/8, ISO 400, with three different exposures for each slice. Exposures ranged from 10 seconds for the main room to 1/25th second for the chandelier. [show more] |

|  Musgrave Tea Tower Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: A landmark along the Shore Path was the Musgrave Tea Tower. In 1881, New York banker Thomas Musgrave built Edgemere, a Shingle-style cottage designed by William R. Emerson. Five years later he added a second cottage, Mare Vista, to his property. Musgrave's tower contained a second-floor tearoom and an attached bowling alley and dance hall." - "Bar Harbor" by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr., Postcard Series, Arcadia Publishing, Charleston, South Carolina, 2011, p. 50. The Musgrave Tea Tower was built by Thomas Bateson Musgrave (1831-1903) and his wife, Frances 'Fannie' Eleanor (Jones) Musgrave. Archivists researching the life of the Musgraves embark upon a sea of stories combining opulence, litigation and controversy. [show more] | ||
