The sign probably says Tremont or Bass Harbor - 3 miles. The corner of the Elisha B. Crane house is visible on the left. The horses are standing in front of P.L. Sargent's Livery Stable on Clark Point Road. The first house beyond the livery stable was built about 1902 by William Wallace and sold to E.A. Lawler. Next beyond that, with dark shutters, is the house built by E.L. Higgins, on Maple Lane, in 1884. On the right, part of the Old Masonic Hall may be seen, followed by A.L. Gilley's Barber Shop, Dr. R.J. Lemont's Drug Store and residence, Stephen Harmon's General Store, and William J. Tower's residence.

About this photo, George Bedigan wrote: "I have enclosed scan of my father’s (Jean Bedigian) discharge papers from SS Norembega. The picture in question looks to be more circa 1920 than 1902. I say that after examining the gentleman with the suit and tie. If Jean Bedigian is in the photo it would be the fourth crew member from the left. I do not have a photo of him at that time but a photo of one of his sons (attached .. soldier on the right ) has a likeness. Also he was not a tall man approx. 5’ 7”. Jean’s mother (Zois) and sister(Maria who married an American soldier) emigrated to the US after the first world war and may have settled in the area." Jean Bedigian (1885-1950)

John Melbourne Rich took the design for his new house in Tremont from Design 24 in the 1888 version of Palliser's "New Cottage Homes and Details." The Pallisers showed two versions of Design 24. One, a modest house without a tower, and one, a showpiece with tower that could be built for a "cost of $1,700." For this amount one received, "plans, elevations, details and perspective view of a comfortable, convenient cottage home of six rooms, with tower which is designed to command a view of the surrounding country where erected." John Melbourne Rich chose the showy tower version with which to command a view of Tremont. John tore the top story of the three-story tower off when he found that the chimney smoked. This view of the house shows the two-story tower.
