Clark Point Road goes off to the right in the foreground. The Left side of Main Street: J.C. Ralph's Studio is the first whole building visible on the left. One of the old street lights and the wall of the Southwest Harbor Public Library are visible on the far side of the Ralph building. The Right Side of Main Street: The "fountain" sitting in the road in just about at the corner of Clark Point Road, is a horse watering fountain. The white two-story building with the belfry was Southwest Harbor’s first high school before the building was turned ninety degrees and moved to become the Harmon Block at 337 Main Street. Gilley Plumbing, later the Gilley Plumbing Company, is visible beyond the school building.

The Southwest Harbor Motor Company Garage was originally owned and operated by Sim Mayo. The chauffeur standing at left in the photograph is representative of the "summer business." There is a round metal "MICHELIN" sign to the left of the door. The car on the left (with chauffeur) is a Pierce-Arrow, a 1915 Model 38, 5-passenger touring car. The second car from the left is a 1916 Overland Model 83B 5 or 7-passenger touring car. The third car from left is a 1916 Hudson Super Six 5 or 7-passenger phaeton. The last car on the right is probably a 1912 Cadillac 7-passenger touring car. In 1940 the phone number for Southwest Motor Company was 51-2.
