| 13927 | Eldering Cottage Frank Wells Ramseyer Cottage |
|
|
|
| "Eldering" was the summer home of Frank Wells and Linda Chapin Marcus Ramseyer. 1937 - Linda Chapin Marcus, daughter of Dorothy's brother, William Elder Marcus, Jr. and her husband, Frank Ramseyer Jr. bought a strip of six acres next to Dorothy's "High Tide" on Seawall Road, from Captain Hiram S. Hadlock and built their summer house, "Eldering." The name was partly in honor of Frank's descent from Elder Brewster of the Mayflower and partly from the name, Elder, in Linda's family. Frank W. Ramseyer designed the house, which was built by Sylvester Dorr. In about 1960 Hiram Hadlock's granddaughter, Eleanor M. Hadlock Gilley, sold another eleven acres to the Ramseyers, thus completing the present property. In 1942 an east wing was added to the house by Mr. Dorr and in 1964 a south ell, designed by Frank Ramseyer and built by Maurice Norwood. Frank's daughters, Helene Ramseyer Dickel and Lin Ramseyer Clayberg, added a garage of their design to the property. |  Eldering Cottage Frank Wells Ramseyer Cottage

| “The cottage on the corner of the High Road and Causeway Lane was built at the Back Shore by William Cram as a summer home for himself and family. Mr. Cram sold it to S.R. Clark [Schuyler R. Clark] who moved it to its present location and remodeled it…” - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, p. 163-164, 1938. William Cram apparently sold his house to Schuyler Clark and the land to Emily S. Rogers. Schuyler moved the cottage to the High Road. In 1938 the Cram cottage on High Road belonged to the heirs of Professor Kropman of Providence, Rhode Island. The house was bought by Elmer L. (1920-2010) and Prudence M. (Benson) Beal in 1945 and remained theirs until at least 2010. Emily S. Rogers was born in August 1842 in Massachusetts. She built her house on the Cram land at 20 Schuyler Lane in 1908-1909. |
