One of the photos is a Christmas card from H. R. Beal and Sons, Inc. signed Harvard & Elva. Another shows what appears to be construction of the wharf during the early 1900s judging by the pickup truck in the background.

This boat shop, built behind the owner's house, complete with two elegant bird houses, could have belonged to any one of many boat builders on and around Mount Desert and its surrounding islands or perhaps have been somewhere else in Maine. It is typical of the way mechanization crept into the boat building and servicing industry. The sign on the roof of the shop says, "Hartford Marine Gas Engines For Sale."

This house was built on 100 acres purchased by William Heath for $11.07 in 1798. According to a pledge made by Eugenia Ketterlinus, Heath's heirs, including J. Julian, Louise M., Victor A. and Fred W., could occupy the house until their death. Eugenia had acquired the property through a tax lien. The Mill was across the road from the house.

The photograph shows a row of houses on Ord Street in Aberdeen, where Jonathan Stewart grew up. It explains a mystery that has confounded historians in Maine for some time. How did the granite house at 419 Main Street in Southwest Harbor come to be? Jonathan built it in 1947.

The photos belonged to my father. He had them at the time of the construction and when the bridge was finished. I do not know who took them. I put them on the computer a long time ago. I believe I scanned them. Some belonged to my sister so I don't have those originals in my possession. -- Therese Klotz Marshall, October 2016
