| 15573 | La Rochelle |
|
| La Rochelle is a beautiful and elaborate “cottage” on West Street in Bar Harbor. Built in 1902 for George S. Bowdoin, a great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton and a partner in the Morgan Bank, the mansion was named after the Bowdoin family’s ancestral town in France. The most recent family owners, Ruth and Tristram Colket, donated the structure to the Maine Sea Coast Mission in 1972 with an endowment for its upkeep. La Rochelle was renamed and dedicated as the Colket Center in 2006. The top floor, formerly the servant’s quarters, served as the organizing and storage area for the multitude of gifts the Mission distributes as part of its annual Christmas Program. The structure housed the Maine Sea Coast Mission’s administrative offices, classroom and meeting space, as well as historical artifacts until 2019 when it was purchased by the Bar Harbor Historical Society. = |

| George Soules created this postcard for the Maine Sea Coast Mission. About it he wrote "I had the privilege of photographing La Rochelle to create a postcard for the Maine Sea Coast Mission. I used a Canon 5D Mark III DSLR with a Canon 24mm tilt/shift lens and a B+W circular polarizing filter, all mounted on a Really Right Stuff tripod. Mission president Rev. Scott Planting and Development Assistant Anna Silver directed traffic around me as I stood in the middle of West Street to take the shot." |

| The photograph shows a row of houses on Ord Street in Aberdeen, where Jonathan Stewart grew up. It explains a mystery that has confounded historians in Maine for some time. How did the granite house at 419 Main Street in Southwest Harbor come to be? Jonathan built it in 1947. |

| Otmar “Otto” Franz Karban bought Echo Vista from Clarence N. Reddish on November 21, 1955. Clarence apparently bought the land and / or the business from Omar Tapley. The part of the land on the edge of the lake had belonged to Ernest T. Richardson and Vina E. (Ray) Richardson before it was sold it to Clarence Reddish. The Richardsons had a business, The Maplewood Lunch, just down the road from Echo Vista on the water side of the road. |
