Southwest Harbor Public Library Southwest Harbor Public Library	Reference	Organizations, Civic, Public Library Structures, Civic, Library			Southwest Harbor	In Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Permitted	Southwest Harbor Public Library Southwest Harbor Public Library Identifier: swhpl-3487 Type: Reference Subject: Organizations, Civic, Public Library Structures, Civic, Library Place: Southwest Harbor Description: Nell Thornton famously said, in her book, The Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor, “The Southwest Harbor Public Library had its beginning [as the Tremont Public Library] in 1884 when Mrs. Annie Sawyer Downs gathered a number of discarded books from the hotels, mostly paper covered volumes, and placed them on a shelf in one corner of Dr. R. J. Lemont's drug store…” The library was, as were many small libraries on the coast of Maine, started by “people from away,” in other words, summer people. This small library, however, was quickly adopted by native Southwest Harborians, and has grown, in the almost one and a half centuries since its founding, to be one of Maine’s very few five-star libraries, according to the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service.

After he died his son chose to auction the items in his shop off to the highest bidder. The audience knew of Wendells wishes and no one bid except the curator of the Museum who acquired all of the items for a reasonable price. I was then asked to design a room to display his shop and a workspace for carvers and a small auditorium. We had not realized how popular the place would become and needed space for expansion. I did this work from my home studio in Philadelphia and John DeFazio a fellow employee at Venturi, Scott Brown helped with the drawings. [show more]

Harbor House Tour Invitation Northeast Harbor Library	Document, Request, Invitation	Events Structures, Civic, Community Center	Roc Caivano		Southwest Harbor		Harbor House Tour Invitation Northeast Harbor Library Identifier: nehl-1313 Type: Document, Request, Invitation Subject: Events Structures, Civic, Community Center Creator: Roc Caivano Place: Southwest Harbor Description: Invitation to tour of the new building. Has images of the building, floor plans, and an elevation. Roc's Comments: This one was hard. The directors of the Harbor House changed and the board changed when we were in the process of doing this project. There was an understandable fracture on the board between saving the old schoolhouse on Main Street and moving to this new facility. The plans were for a state of the art daycare center, a multi use gymnasium/ meeting room and an exercise/ health facility. The Committee chose to build two of the three functions and included a mechanical system for the eventual third (exercise) wing. Carl Haskell was the project manager on this one. Either Todd Hardy or Jeff Wright did the computer drawing. [show more]
