The First Masonic Hall, now 353 Main Street, Southwest Harbor - at the corner of Clark Point Road, - The Hall, built c. 1877 as Tremont Hall, was sold to the Masonic lodge around 1902.

These lamps did duty until the installation of electricity in the summer of 1917.” - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S.

"This 1895 photograph of Seal Harbor shows the Seaside Inn on the left and The Glencove rear center. The Seaside Inn was rebuilt from the Clement family homestead in 1869, enlarged in 1875 and torn down in 1964. Edwin Lynam and his son-in-law, Robert Campbell, put up the Glencove in 1883. Hansen, in his book of the town of Mount Desert, says that the Glencove “seems to have been a resort of professionals and intellectuals. Its guests sometimes included such a large portion of scholars that it was said that the bell hops were…construing Latin phrases.” The Glencove was sold and demolished in 1910 and the site became the village green."- MH - Mt. Desert Islander - 2007.

  • 1898 c.
  • Southwest Harbor
There are several street lamps visible in the photograph - the one on the right is different from the others. The lamp post on the left is at the corner of Clark Point Road. The building with the overhang beyond it is the Odd Fellows building. The building on the right is J.C. Ralph's Studio - Optician and Jeweler - and the Post Office. A man is standing in the door of the Post Office and a man standing in front of Ralph's Studio. The photograph was taken soon after John Ralph moved his store and expanded it. “In 1897, the different societies in the village combined to raise funds for street lights. The lamps were bought and placed near those houses whose owners were willing to furnish the kerosene and keep the lamps trimmed and lighted. These lamps did duty until the installation of electricity in the summer of 1917.” - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S.
