A. L. [Arthur A.] Gilley's barber shop is on the left - a small building which forms but a fraction of the structure. It is possible that, at the time this photograph was taken, Maurice Marshall was renting the barber shop. The gasoline pumps shown on the right are in what is now the Post Office parking lot. The bandstand can just be seen across Main Street in the back of the photograph. The automobile is definitely c. 1925-1926 - very possibly a 1925 Maxwell 5 Passenger Sedan.

The land in this photograph started out as part of the Clark family’s land, hence “Clark Point.” The upright building on the left of the photograph is the old Clark and Parker Store, the J.N. Mills Cash Store at the time this photograph was taken. Later it was the Manset Marine Supply store and, in 2012 the Oceanarium. This building is: 172 Clark Point Road – Tax Map 4 – Lot 30 – MHPC #405-0787. The wharf occupied by the long dormered building was originally Simeon “Sim” Holden Mayo’s boat shop. It was sold to Andrew Edward Parker in 1912. He ran a boat shop there until 1925 when it was sold to Chester Eben Clement for his boat shop. Researchers date this photograph at circa 1925 so it was probably still the property of Andrew Edward Parker. This building is: 168 Clark Point Road – Tax Map 4 – Lot 29.
