Nell Thornton, who attended this school, says, "The schoolhouse lot was purchased of William Thomas Holmes (1829-1910) on March 27, 1860, and the building erected that year to take the place of the old one which stood opposite Mr. John F. Young's house." - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, 1938, p. 132-133. (See Thornton, p. 130-131 for an account of an earlier school at Norwood Cove, which stood at the south corner of Main Street & Fernald Point Road. That land is now part of the Causeway Club.) "In 1913 the school at Norwood's Cove was abolished and since that time the pupils have attended the schools at the village. Throughout the years this school district maintained a high rank of scholarship and many earnest and gifted teachers have taught in the little building, which was painted yellow with white trimmings and for equipment had a large desk for the teacher, a chair, one or two maps and part of the time a water pail and tin dipper." In 1923 Allston Sargent (1875-1944) of East Orange, New Jersey, bought the school property from the Town of Southwest Harbor. (HRD 584/14). The deed, dated November 6, 1923, says that the lot is 1/5 acre together with the building thereon formerly used as a school house. The school building was razed in 1937 by Lawrence S. Robinson (1897-1980), who recycled the lumber for an addition to his house at 28 Fernald Point Road, Map 9 - Lot 28. The Robinson house has since been razed. In 1946 Robinson's sister, Esther M. (Robinson) Hynes (1901-1983) and her husband, Cecil E. Hynes bought the property and built a summer cottage on it. It was sold out of the family until 1980 when Lawrence Robinson's daughter, Joan (Robinson) Terry and her husband, Wilbert Terry, purchased the property and made it their year round home.

  • 329 Main Street
The one room schoolhouse used from 1862 to 1906. "[The Free High School, built c. 1862] was still a one-room school with but one teacher and every year more students came to study. The interests of the widely separated parts of the town were so different that it was impossible to come to an agreement and when the building of a new schoolhouse was suggested it was impossible to agree on a new location. Finally, when the Southwest Harbor citizens demanded new buildings at the village and at Manset, those in the western part of the town decided to separate themselves from Southwest Harbor. This was agreed upon by both sides and the town of Southwest Harbor was incorporated February 21, 1905 [this dividing the Southwest Harbor area from Tremont.] The new town voted to build a new schoolhouse at the village and raised the sum of $4500 to do so. This sum included the purchase of additional land. The old building stood close to the main road and had but little land surrounding it, and the new one was to be set farther back with a playground in front of it. The old building was sold to George Harmon and moved to the lot south of the school lot where it is now used for stores and apartments." The Harmon Block at 339 Main Street. - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, p. 84-85 & p. 148 - 1938

  • 1906 c.
  • Southwest Harbor
When the new schoolhouse was built, the old building was sold to George Harmon and it was used for stores and apartments. Many years later the owners of the Harmon Block found, in one of the rooms, an old blackboard from when their building had been a school. On the blackboard was still part of the poem, "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and some doodling on it, remnants of a lesson from circa 1906! This date refers to the time the blackboard was last used. The board shows the 4th stanza of the poem: "And children coming home from school Look in at the open door; They love to see the flaming forge, And hear the bellows roar, And catch the burning sparks that fly Like chaff from a threshing floor." (From "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow from "Ballads and Other Poems" published in 1841)

Southwest Harbor high school did not publish The Pemetic in 1925. Page seven of the 1926 yearbook provides this explanation: "Last year, owing to the small class of Seniors, no book was attempted, for, of course, anything of this kind causes much extra work. We do, however, urge every class that is to follow us to put forth every effort in order that they may do their part for Southwest Harbor high school."
