5197 | Seal Harbor - The Seaside Inn and Glencove Hotel |
|
|
|
|
|
| "This 1895 photograph of Seal Harbor shows the Seaside Inn on the left and The Glencove rear center. The Seaside Inn was rebuilt from the Clement family homestead in 1869, enlarged in 1875 and torn down in 1964. Edwin Lynam and his son-in-law, Robert Campbell, put up the Glencove in 1883. Hansen, in his book of the town of Mount Desert, says that the Glencove “seems to have been a resort of professionals and intellectuals. Its guests sometimes included such a large portion of scholars that it was said that the bell hops were…construing Latin phrases.” The Glencove was sold and demolished in 1910 and the site became the village green."- MH - Mt. Desert Islander - 2007. | Description: "This 1895 photograph of Seal Harbor shows the Seaside Inn on the left and The Glencove rear center.

|
|
|
|
| The wood building at the left is the Bradley Block which was located between the First National and Bar Harbor Banks of 2007. Just visible on the awning is a mortar and pestle sign for a druggist. The building just to the right of the white store is A.W. Bee, Stationer. The large hotel at right was the Rodick House. The freshly renovated Rodick House is garnished with new trees planted and braced on the lawn. There are board sidewalks at the edge of the dirt road which, in turn, is garnished with manure from the many carriage horses shown in the picture. The sign at front lefts says, "Berry Bros. - Boarding Hack and Livery Stable - Cottage Street - Single & Double Teams Furnished Short Notice" The sign at front right says, "Café - John Dean - Phila Caterer - Chicken Croquettes - Medicated (?) Chicken Consomme" | Description: The wood building at the left is the Bradley Block which was located between the First National and Bar Harbor Banks of 2007.
