Description: Document, Downeast Windjammer Cruises dated 3/21/2011 from Captain Steven F. Pagels. Subject: Great Cranberry Island Historical Society. Article mentions the newsletter, Cranberry Chronicles). Capt. Steven F. Pagels owned the ferry, Moleska, for a period of time. Capt. Pagels "purchased Moleska from Chuck Liebow where she was lying in his boat house on Great Cranberry. We needed a vessel for a pilot launch as we were then running pilots out to cruise ships entering and leaving Bar Harbor back in the 1990's. I believe the Moleska had been built at Southwest Boat right after WWII. We later sold Moleska and I believe she went down to Belfast." See also 2018.416.2824C. [show more]

Description: Document from Hugh Dwelley to Bruce Komusin, Winnie Smart, and Phil & Karin Whitney, dated 3/22/2011. Subject: "Cranberry Chronicle". Documents mentions that Rachel Fields called it Big Cranberry and when Hugh Dwelley was growing up in the 1940s & 1950s, we simply called it "Big Island". The memories of Great Cranberry (Big Island) are indeed interesting as they are of Islesford. Document mentions memoirs of Islesford being published and the warm memories of The Grange where Les Rice held the #2 position and came over with Ida, Wilfred, Norma and a few others nearly every Wednesday night for many years. Hugh talks about enjoying photos of the kids at Longfellow School and wishing classes were still in session at the school. Documents mentions Jack Rosebrook moved to Islesford and was a good friend and that Richard Alley is on Islesford now. Hugh remembers Karl Wedge, Allison Bunker, Pauline Bunker and Charlene Allen. Hugh says there were two dozen kids in the Islesford School during my years there (1936-1944). Some of the kids were from Coast Guard families. Hugh mentions the Coast Guard Station where he delivered "GRIT" newspapers and sold pull-books. There were as many as 50 men there for a time late in WWII. Hugh also mentions Sadie's Doughnuts and Sadie Fernald frying doughnuts. Lew Stanley and Wilfred & Tud's pictures in younger days are also mentioned. [show more]
Description: Document, from Ralph W. Stanley to Phil & Karin Whitney dated 4/25/2010. Subject: "Re: GCI House Information Request. It is believed the Great Cranberry House belonged to John Stanley, brother of Enoch B. It possibly was built by him. John Stanley's wife was Lucinda Gott Stanley, daughter of of Jonathan R. and Irene Lorilla (Ladd) Stanley. The house passed to their son, John Gilman Stanley and his wife, Mary Florence Stanley (daughter of Asa Doane and Maria Ellen (Spurling) Stanley). John Gilman was called by his nickname "Gim Stanley". I have seen Lew Stanley referred to as Lewis Gilman Stanley but this is not right- his name is Lewis Gilley Stanley. [show more]
Description: Document, from Phil & Karin Whitney to Wini Smart dated 4/29/2010. Subject: "Re: Woods House". See item 1588a (the questions from Wini Smart to Bruce Komusin which generated item 1588). (Note: This document is about the Woods house but mostly background on the Richman house.) Key words and names in this document include: Wood's House, Julia Bunker Spurling and her mother, Sidney (aka Sydney) Hamor. The old Richman house currently owned by Michael Richman and his sister, Wren Richman. Willis & Rena Bunker lived in the Richman house (what is now Dick & Anne Sullivan's house). Percy Bunker & wife Gertrude Bunker moved into the Sullivan house. Sometime in the early 1950s, Winslow Bunker, unmarried, lived in the Richman house. Gaile Colby might remember more specifically about some of this. In 1954, Gertude Bunker died and Percy Bunker moved to Islesford, where he remained until his death. Winslow Bunker got married to Rosie (last name not known) a school teacher in Brewer. Richman house was sold to Robert & Maida Richman of Washington, D.C. in 1954. Winslow Bunker died in 1992, Robert Richman died approximately in 1990, Maida Richman died around 2002 or 2003. My understanding is that the house has always remained the sole property of the Richman family. Clay Taylor has no financial interest in it. Phil Whitney says in the document that when Wini is doing the full history of the Sullivan house (previously the Richman house) that he has more background information and some interesting anecdotes. Phil has very fond memories of "old Cranberry day" with Percy & Gertrude and Winslow & Rosie as well. Phil Whitney says " that the whole family is mostly forgotten now". [show more]

Description: There are two folders labeled "Bar Harbor High School, Fred Savage". The first folder is marked as containing blueprints. The second folder, which has the date 1907 on it, is marked as containing kraft. 2012 exhibit text: Bar Harbor High School Bar Harbor, ME, 1907 Ink on linen The Gerrish Collection, MDI Historical Society Savage's exacting sketch elevations are interesting. His early studies flirt with a rather more flamboyant expression, but he finally gravitates to the more traditional composition This classical design for the town's High School is very similar to the design of many local schools throughout the nation in the early 20th century. The health and educational reform principles of adequate light and ventilation are clearly incorporated with ample windows in each room. The elements of design are typical for this type of Colonial revival composition. A rusticated base is topped with a solid and strong masonry brick Facade. It is further punctuated with groupings of large windows all painted a light color. This composition is capped with a strong projecting cornice. The brick details and limestone accents are nicely balanced [show more]
