Description:
The First Masonic Hall, now 353 Main Street, Southwest Harbor - at the corner of Clark Point Road, - The Hall, built c. 1877 as Tremont Hall, was sold to the Masonic lodge around 1902. The lodge members renamed the building, raised it, and rebuilt the first and second floors to achieve the building shown in all the pictures as the First Masonic Hall – See the Bar Harbor Times, April 20, 1927, p. 7. The building shown here is the Tremont Hall as it originally looked. One of the old street lights is visible on the right. - “In 1897, the different societies in the village combined to raise funds for street lights. The lamps were bought and placed near those houses whose owners were willing to furnish the kerosene and keep the lamps trimmed and lighted. These lamps did duty until the installation of electricity in the summer of 1917.” - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, 1938, p. 124. The building on the right is John C. Ralph's Studio - Optician and Jewelry. John C.

Description:
"This 1895 photograph of Seal Harbor shows the Seaside Inn on the left and The Glencove rear center. The Seaside Inn was rebuilt from the Clement family homestead in 1869, enlarged in 1875 and torn down in 1964. Edwin Lynam and his son-in-law, Robert Campbell, put up the Glencove in 1883. Hansen, in his book of the town of Mount Desert, says that the Glencove “seems to have been a resort of professionals and intellectuals. Its guests sometimes included such a large portion of scholars that it was said that the bell hops were…construing Latin phrases.” The Glencove was sold and demolished in 1910 and the site became the village green."- MH - Mt. Desert Islander - 2007. [show more]
