Charlotte Gill (posing in the photo above) grew up in Southwest Harbor. In 2011, she took over a dilapidated ice cream stand (known by some as Frosty Bob's) located between Southwest Harbor and Acadia National Park’s Seawall Campground. She opened Sawyer’s Lobster Pound, named after a former beau. When the relationship broke up, Gill renamed the place after herself.

Taken in early May during the last snowfall of the season. This building used to sit between the restaurant and what is now staff housing. It was torn down some time after the Jordan Pond House burned in 1979. It had three floors with beds for male employees. Residents shared a single bathroom having one toilet and one shower stall. Female staff resided on the second floor of the restaurant.
