Acadia National Park, HCTPR		Taken later than the view shown in Item 5663, this view shows a little greenery grown up around the small hotel perched on granite. The Mountain House, built in 1866, was the first hotel to be built on what was then Green Mountain, now Cadillac Mountain. "Daniel Brewer's Mountain House operated through the early 1880's, offering simple, but hearty meals and modest overnight lodging. During the 1870's as many as 3,000 visitors patronized the place each summer." - Steam to the Summit: The Green Mountain Railway - Bar Harbor’s Remarkable Cog Railroad, by Peter Dow Bachelder, p. 24 - 2005. This building was replaced with a much larger structure, The Green Mountain House, when the Green Mountain Railway was built in 1883.
