Schooner "Palestine" in foreground. The Indian camps (during the summers) at Indian Lot may be seen over the bowsprit in background. Beyond the foremast a rental building owned by Deacon Henry Clark is visible. The white house at the center was the residence of Henry Clark - built for him in 1871. The large house and barn at the left was the residence of William G. Parker - built for him in about 1868. The building with a dormer was a workshop in Deacon Clark's shipyard. There was an apartment upstairs. "The schooner Palestine, deserted here in Deacon's Harbor, was painted repeatedly by visitors. Behind the hull can be seen the workshops for Deacon Clark's shipyard business and Henry Clark and William Parker Chandlery. High on the hill are the houses of the deacon's children: daughter Ada, her husband William Parker (left), and son Henry. Each summer, Native Americans would return to their camping spot on the ridge, visible above the bow sprit." - Mount Desert Island - Somesville, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr. and Lydia B. Vandenbergh - Images of America Series, p. 50 - 2001

The Tremont Masonic Lodge #77, after it was raised and enlarged, at the corner of Main Street and Clark Point Road in Southwest Harbor. The building to the right of it was the Odd Fellows Hall, destroyed by fire on March 27, 1922. The front entrance (as shown) was on Main Street. A lobby and auditorium with stage were on that floor. Town meetings and other gatherings were held in the auditorium for many years. The top floor held the lodge hall. At the far left is A. Gilley's Barber Shop, and, to the right of it is R.J. Lemont's Drug Store. The shield sign to the right of that marks the store of the "Live Yankee." The business on the bottom floor (access from Clark Point Road) of the Old Masonic Hall is the J.T. Crippen Co. - musical instruments and supplies.
