Description:
The letter reads: Dec. 16th, 1963 To, Lawrence Phillips, Southwest Harbor. To answer your letter Oct 18th saying in view of my painting "Clark's Wharf," which I loaned to the library for many years! I have recently got an appraisal of this painting although he has not seen this particular canvas, he has handled my pictures and sold many and therefore knows what they will bring - and names the value of the painting "Clarks Wharf" so I have decided to present the canvas to the Southwest Harbor Library - and take a chance of getting an allowance on my income tax. Simply have the Library write saying they would like to have it, and that the library is a public institution and a non profit one; I would have to get the letter before Jan 1st 1964 to get a benefit on my income tax. With cordial remembrances, Chas Morris Young "95th" year. Box 74, Radnor Pa [show more]

Description:
On letterhead printed with "Hares Lane Radnor Pennsylvania", the letter reads: Nov 27th 1948 To the Southwest Harbor Library Southwest Harbor, Me, I believe you have a painting of the old Clark Wharf which I loaned to the library years ago. This painting is still my property and I have [illegible] decided to present to the library [?] permanent possession. I only ask['ed' struck out] it be treated with respect and not sold or bartered. Painting of this size and character of mine have sold around $2500.00 and I consider this a good example of my work. If the Library committee decides to accept it for its permanent collection I would like a formal acknowledgement Very sincerely yours, Chas. Morris Young I would suggest that the painting be cleaned with a little ivory soap and cold water this will not harm it. Very likely the frame would be improved by regilding with a coat of regular gold paint or powder. C.M.Y. [show more]

Description:
Enoch Boynton Stanley’s house and boathouse at Great Cranberry Island was the home of his son, Lewis Gilley Stanley (1869-1957) after Enoch’s death. The property was purchased by artist John “Jack” Edward Heliker (1909-2000) in 1958 and shared with his companion Robert Lewis LaHotan (1927-2002) in 1988. The boathouse blew down in a storm in 1978. “The 19th-century boatsheds and outbuildings were converted over the years to studios, and both artists spent many of the most productive years of their lives regularly painting in Cranberry in the summers and teaching and painting in New York during the winters. Robert LaHotan spent the last two years of his life realizing his vision of turning the property into a residency program for artists on Cranberry. In 2003, the buildings passed to the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation, Inc.” – Quote from the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation website. [show more]

Steamboat Wharf at Southwest Harbor
Southwest Harbor Public Library
Description:
“Summer tourists who enter Mount Desert by the way of South-west Harbor are liable to receive very unfavorable impressions of this beautiful island. While approaching the shore, the most charming views are obtained, but after the first salutation their majesties the mountains become shy, and when the steamer reaches the pier they are wholly lost to sight. On landing, an ancient, fish-like smell is found to pervade the air around the dock in the vicinity of the lobster-boiling establishment, while the general aspect of the place is hardly inviting. By crossing the harbor to the Ocean House, the view of the mountains may indeed be regained, yet the prospect from the east side is tame.” - Rambles in Mount Desert With Sketches of Travel on The New-England Coast by B.F. DeCosta, p. 45 - 1871 [show more]
