|  Remembering the Finkelstein's house Great Cranberry Island Historical Society 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] | ||

|  Wood and Richman house histories Great Cranberry Island Historical Society 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] | ||

|  Donald House Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Document, from "pad 45" (Peter Donald) to "pkw2@myfairpoint.net" (Phil and Karen Whitney). Subject: "Donald House" Document mentions that that Moorfield Storey bought 2 or 3 buildings that were part of the Bulger Farm in the early part of the 1900's when he first came to Cranberry. One was the house that is now the Donald Trust house (Barbara's). The other is the Pressey house next door which the Frank kids now own jointly. We sold it to the Frank family in the late 1980's after Barbara died. The house that Susie and Gidda Bancroft now own were possibly part of the the Bulger Farm and may have been bought from the Bulgers by some member of the Storey family. The Pressey and Trust house were passed on to Barbara by her father, Malcolm Donald (married to Katherine Storey) in the mid-1940's. I don't know much about the Lyman/Storey house on the hill. Bruce Komusin will be asked to investigate as he has organized a lot of the history on these properties. I will also ask my sister, Debbie, when she is there later this month, to take a look at some of the old pictures stored in the house for a picture of Barbara. [show more] | |||

|  Bar Harbor High School, Fred Savage Kraft and Blueprints Mount Desert Island Historical Society 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] | |||
