| 13294 | Maine Cottages: Fred L. Savage and the Architecture of Mount Desert |
|
|
|
| Mount Desert has been one of America's favorite tourist destinations for over 150 years. As early as the 1840s, the lush landscape of this island on the Maine coast attracted artists and writers, who soon made Mount Desert's beauty famous with their paintings and publications. The stream of tourists that began traveling to the island after the Civil War prompted a building boom of cottages, hotels, and various buildings in Bar Harbor and other towns in the vicinity. Fred Savage (1861–1924) was the most influential architect in the development of Mount Desert and northeastern Maine, designing over three hundred buildings. Richly illustrated with archival drawings, photographs, and newly commissioned color photography, Maine Cottages presents all of Savage's most important works while placing the life and career of this architect in the larger context of Mount Desert Island. |

|
| Nellie Carroll Thornton descended from early settlers of Southwest Harbor and was related, in one way or another, to practically all of her neighbors. She inherited her aunt Mary Ann Carroll’s notes for a planned history of the town. Nellie was the author of the SWH social column in the Bar Harbor Times from c. 1921 until c. 1958. She combined her notes from the Times with those from Mary Ann and a good deal of scholarship to produce a very complete history of the town, full of opinion, local mythology and history. She was an astute observer and made a laudable effort to distinguish mythology from history. She left the town she loved its most valuable gift. Traditions and records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton (Nellie C. Thornton) was originally published by Merrill & Webber Company in 1938. It was reproduced in 1988 by the Southwest Harbor Public Library and digitized in 2010. |
