| Fitz Henry Lane painted one of the earliest views of Southwest Harbor, and seems to have studied the shore carefully. The view shows a lumber schooner loading its long cargo through a port in the bow of the vessel. The white house immediately to the left of the vessel probably shows an early version of the Seth Higgins Clark House. The white house at the center of the shore is the Nathan Clark II House. The white building at the far left is Deacon Henry Higgins Clark's Island House Hotel, early in its career, before it was expanded into several stories with a mansard roof. Clark descendants, and their houses, are still in Southwest Harbor. William Howe Witherle (1821–1906) accompanied Lane on his trip around Mount Desert Island and recorded many of their adventures in his diary. On August 21 he wrote, "… George, Joe & myself took breakfast this morning at the Island House – and a fine one it was – price 25 cts – Mr. Lane took 2 sketches here…” The sketches referred to were of the shore and harbor, not the hotel. See: Witherle, William Howe. William Witherle Diary (unpublished manuscript) (August 16–21, 1852). Personal diary in the collection of the Wilson Museum, Castine, Maine (A00060-1a-1h). |

| 5525 | Schooner Palestine in Deacon's Harbor, Clark Point |

|
| 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 view is from the Pemetic Hotel (The Castle) and, on the Southwest Harbor side, shows the Clarence Clark (Ellsbert/Heilaka) house left foreground. The long roofed building in the center, next to the harbor, a bowling alley after World War II - currently the Hamilton Marine building. The building on the right with the striped roof is the firm of Clark & Parker/Manset Marine Supply Co./ and the Oceanarium since 1979. The Oceanarium is the oldest commercial building on Clark Point - the only one extant except the Clarence Clark House. The Manset shore is in the background with discernible landmarks, including the Manset Union Church, the Stanley wharf, the early Stanley House and numerous commercial buildings on the Shore Road. There are about 30 schooners visible in the harbor and tied up at the wharves. - Identifications by Meredith Hutchins - 2006 |

| 11581 | Wharves and Buildings at Clark Point - Schooner Theoline Unloading Coal at J.N. Mills |

|
| The land in this photograph started out as part of the Clark family’s land, hence “Clark Point.” The upright building on the left of the photograph is the old Clark and Parker Store, the J.N. Mills Cash Store at the time this photograph was taken. Later it was the Manset Marine Supply store and, in 2012 the Oceanarium. This building is: 172 Clark Point Road – Tax Map 4 – Lot 30 – MHPC #405-0787. The wharf occupied by the long dormered building was originally Simeon “Sim” Holden Mayo’s boat shop. It was sold to Andrew Edward Parker in 1912. He ran a boat shop there until 1925 when it was sold to Chester Eben Clement for his boat shop. Researchers date this photograph at circa 1925 so it was probably still the property of Andrew Edward Parker. This building is: 168 Clark Point Road – Tax Map 4 – Lot 29. |
