Bill Herrick's shack was on or near the Herrick property at 43 Clark Point Road. "The William Herrick house was built partly from lumber from the first Herrick house adjoining the Jacob Lurvey place to the west of the Main Road as one enters the village [of Southwest Harbor on Route 102.] This was the home of the Herrick family for many years and after the death of their parents [Isaac and Lavinia Harper Herrick], William and Asa Herrick tore down the old house and rebuilt it on its present site. The great syringa bush in the yard was brought from the old home. At the death of William [Horace] Herrick the place became the property of his nephew and namesake [William E. Herrick, son of William Horace Herrick's brother, Nelson] who now lives there." - Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, p. 159 - 1938. The lot probably originally extended to around 47 Clark Point Road.

Enoch Boynton Stanley’s house and boathouse at Great Cranberry Island was the home of his son, Lewis Gilley Stanley (1869-1957) after Enoch’s death. The property was purchased by artist John “Jack” Edward Heliker (1909-2000) in 1958 and shared with his companion Robert Lewis LaHotan (1927-2002) in 1988. The boathouse blew down in a storm in 1978. “The 19th-century boatsheds and outbuildings were converted over the years to studios, and both artists spent many of the most productive years of their lives regularly painting in Cranberry in the summers and teaching and painting in New York during the winters. Robert LaHotan spent the last two years of his life realizing his vision of turning the property into a residency program for artists on Cranberry. In 2003, the buildings passed to the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation, Inc.” – Quote from the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation website.
