Francis Hector Clergue built the Green Mountain House in 1883, adjacent to the old Mountain House on the summit of Green Mountain, now Cadillac Mountain, to, serve patrons of his Green Mountain Railway, a cog railroad, which chugged up the mountain from Eagle Lake. Both the old and new structures burned to the ground on August 2, 1884. “1884, August 2. The burning of a hotel on Green Mountain, Mount Desert, in the evening, was plainly seen from Belfast, at a distance of fifty miles.” – “History of the City of Belfast in the State of Maine: From Its First Settlement in 1770 to 1875” by Joseph Williamson, p. 241 – 1913. Frank Clergue immediately replaced this structure with a smaller hotel and his business continued as noted in the review below. "...A Good Hotel Is At The Summit, where persons desiring it can find pleasant accomodations for a longer or shorter stay. Round trip tickets can be had of the company's agent, on Main Street, Bar Harbor. F.H. Clergue, President." - Part of an advertisement appearing in Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island by William Berry Lapham - 1887.

The Cornerstone Baptist Church was founded on March 16, 1952 in a farmhouse across from Seal Cove Pond that later became Seal Cove Farm, with ten members. The pastor was Rev. George Wood. In 1953 the little congregation paid $16,000 to buy the old West Tremont Schoolhouse. They added a Sunday school wing in the 1960s.
