  • Southwest Harbor, Seawall
It is unknown exactly where Osmond was picking up hay, but it is probable that he was on Peter Theodore Benson Jr.'s land and two of Peter's children were helping load the hay. The Harpers and the Bensons were neighbors at Seawall. Osmond built his house at 475 Seawall Road, Map 19 - Lot 48, MHPC #405-1016, across the road and several lots toward Southwest Harbor from the Benson's land, in 1917.

The photograph shows the use of spliced frames, "split frames." Split frames were sawed on the band saw. "Every boat around here was built that way." They would bend the frames in. "The timber goes down in the gain socket." - Ralph Stanley, March 4, 2013.

The tower at the top left of the photograph housed the fire whistle behind Gilley Plumbing building on the left.

This was previously site of Moore's Garage Co. and is the site of the Post Office building today [2017]. "The Gilley and Salisbury plumbing shop was at first built by George H. Gilley on his lot near his home on the Main Road and was used there as a plumber's shop for some years. Then it was moved to its present situation and in 1929 it was moved to the rear of the lot and the show rooms and upstairs living apartment were built. Mr. Gilley's grandson, Wendell H. Gilley, now carries on the business." The automobiles Left to Right: 1938 Oldsmobile 4 Door Sedan 1938 Chevrolet 4 Door Sedan 1938 Chevrolet 4 Door Sedan
