| The Cheese House Southwest Harbor Public Library |

|  The Cheese House Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: "The Cheese House was part of the Cheese House chain which had 18 cheese-shaped locations in New England. Apparently, there are only … two buildings left. The stores were built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were constructed of wood with a cut-out wedge for the entrance and windows. They are 9' tall and 40' in diameter. In the late 1970s, the chain disbanded due to financial problems." - “Giant Food: Misc. Food” by Debra Jane Seltzer, Roadside Architecture.com, Accessed online 11/12/13; http://www.agilitynut.com/food/other.html The postcards for all the Cheeses Houses appear to be the same photograph. The store in Trenton was owned by Alex A. Albin and Bernice E. Albin. It closed in 1984 and the building has been for sale almost all the time since. Collectors of architectural oddities are always looking for such buildings, originally built as cheese wheels, hot dogs, clam boxes or loaves of bread. [show more] | |||

|  Daniel Cough House and Store Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Daniel Cough (1840-1906) Daniel Cough's house - "The Della & Wills Dow House (Daniel Cough Homestead), Bernard circa 1868 - Daniel Cough, who was originally from China, built this lovely home on property purchased in 1868 from Dorcas Booth. Cough operated a store next door. The exterior of the house is basically unchanged, other than the addition of the door and porch on the north side, and the replacement of windows and siding. The interior has been renovated, replacing the pantry with a laundry and bathroom. In 1908, the original property was split between Ezra Cough and A. Bird Cough. Tax records reveal tha in 1912 Ezra R. Cough sold the house to Harold L. Holmes. The Dows acquired the house in 1952." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 10 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough's store - "The Rosemary & Robert Tilden House, Bernard circa 1878 - It would appear that the current house at one time was a store. It was occupied by Daniel Cough, then called "Old China." The original building may have been constructed as early as 1873. Cough heirs include Ezra R. Cough and A. Bird Cough. Other names on deeds include Omar W. Tapley, Mary Ethel Mitchell, George L. and Katherine M. Higgins, Kenneth Eugene Sawyer and Clifford S. and Rosemary W. Stillwell. According to the present owners [the Tildens], the house seems to have been "thrown together" using any scraps and spare lumber available. During renovation, the Tildens found a mail slot, a snack counter, remnats of Mitchell's ice cream shop and a horse whip." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 23 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough was also called "John Chiney" or John Chinaman. He is said to have opened his store in the 1860s. [show more] | ||
