Nell Rebecca (Carroll) Thornton, who grew up at The Mountain House, in Southwest Harbor, without running water and the other modern comforts of the early 1900s was immensely proud of hers and Seth’s house in Houlton. She took many photographs of her family and friends on its porches and front steps and a few inside. Her family took pictures at the house too.
