|  J.T.R. Freeman's House and Post Office Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: The white building with the staircase at the left of the watercolor is the building where John Richardson conducted his tailoring business with the Customs House on the second floor. The building in the center of the painting is part of the discarded South Norwood Cove school, presumably now J.T.R. Freeman's home. (It should be noted that what is now the village of Southwest Harbor used to be called South Norwood's Cove.) The little white building to the right would be the post office, probably with people playing croquet in front of it. [show more] | |

|  Entrance of Somes Sound from Southwest Harbor Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Fitz Henry Lane painted one of the earliest views of Southwest Harbor, and seems to have studied the shore carefully. The view shows a lumber schooner loading its long cargo through a port in the bow of the vessel. The white house immediately to the left of the vessel probably shows an early version of the Seth Higgins Clark House. The white house at the center of the shore is the Nathan Clark II House. The white building at the far left is Deacon Henry Higgins Clark's Island House Hotel, early in its career, before it was expanded into several stories with a mansard roof. Clark descendants, and their houses, are still in Southwest Harbor. William Howe Witherle (1821–1906) accompanied Lane on his trip around Mount Desert Island and recorded many of their adventures in his diary. On August 21 he wrote, "… George, Joe & myself took breakfast this morning at the Island House – and a fine one it was – price 25 cts – Mr. Lane took 2 sketches here…” The sketches referred to were of the shore and harbor, not the hotel.
