3614Jordan Pond Gate Lodge
  • Reference
  • Structures, Commercial, Lodging, Lodge
  • Bar Harbor
One of two gate lodges (the other being the Brown Mountain Gate Lodge) built for John D. Rockefeller Jr. to serve as entry points to his system of carriage roads and to guard against the entry of automobiles. They were built in 1931-1932. The Jordan Pond Gate Lodge is located just south of Jordan Pond on the Loop Road. It is the smaller of the two lodges. The two lodges were designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, a New York architect who had previously designed the Congregational Church in Seal Harbor. Atterbury shared Rockefeller's dedication to philanthropy and was one of the few architects to study and use light and ventilation in tenement buildings. These lodges allowed Atterbury to design for the aesthetics of a grand estate and the purpose of housing the working class families that cared for the carriage roads. While the exteriors appear castle-like, the interiors are modest and were clearly designed with the needs of the residents in mind. The gate lodges were subsequently given to Acadia National Park along with the system of carriage roads. In the years since, they have served as housing for park employees. While they are no longer necessary to guard against the entry of automobiles, they serve as a reminder of this long tradition and as architectural gems within the Park.

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"

A landmark along the Shore Path was the Musgrave Tea Tower. In 1881, New York banker Thomas Musgrave built Edgemere, a Shingle-style cottage designed by William R. Emerson. Five years later he added a second cottage, Mare Vista, to his property. Musgrave's tower contained a second-floor tearoom and an attached bowling alley and dance hall." - "Bar Harbor" by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr., Postcard Series, Arcadia Publishing, Charleston, South Carolina, 2011, p. 50. The Musgrave Tea Tower was built by Thomas Bateson Musgrave (1831-1903) and his wife, Frances 'Fannie' Eleanor (Jones) Musgrave. Archivists researching the life of the Musgraves embark upon a sea of stories combining opulence, litigation and controversy.
