  • Structures, Dwellings, House
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.

Daniel Cough (1840-1906) Daniel Cough's house - "The Della & Wills Dow House (Daniel Cough Homestead), Bernard circa 1868 - Daniel Cough, who was originally from China, built this lovely home on property purchased in 1868 from Dorcas Booth. Cough operated a store next door. The exterior of the house is basically unchanged, other than the addition of the door and porch on the north side, and the replacement of windows and siding. The interior has been renovated, replacing the pantry with a laundry and bathroom. In 1908, the original property was split between Ezra Cough and A. Bird Cough. Tax records reveal tha in 1912 Ezra R. Cough sold the house to Harold L. Holmes. The Dows acquired the house in 1952." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 10 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough's store - "The Rosemary & Robert Tilden House, Bernard circa 1878 - It would appear that the current house at one time was a store. It was occupied by Daniel Cough, then called "Old China." The original building may have been constructed as early as 1873. Cough heirs include Ezra R. Cough and A. Bird Cough. Other names on deeds include Omar W. Tapley, Mary Ethel Mitchell, George L. and Katherine M. Higgins, Kenneth Eugene Sawyer and Clifford S. and Rosemary W. Stillwell. According to the present owners [the Tildens], the house seems to have been "thrown together" using any scraps and spare lumber available. During renovation, the Tildens found a mail slot, a snack counter, remnats of Mitchell's ice cream shop and a horse whip." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 23 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough was also called "John Chiney" or John Chinaman. He is said to have opened his store in the 1860s.

"Later [Abraham Somes] built a substantial frame house on the site of the Somes House and a part of that house is embodied in the present hotel. Some of the rooms at the back remain almost as they were at first. The house was built as a one-story building and later the walls were raised. Since then there have been many alterations and additions. George A. Somes finally inherited the property, developed the hotel business and built the two cottages toward the shore. His widow now owns it and conducts the hotel." - “Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine” by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, 1938, p. 270-271. “When George A. Somes inherited the [Somes House], he expanded the family inn by constructing two large additions, one attached at the left and the other freestanding to the right, giving the hotel a capacity of 150 guests. Noted visitors included Louis Comfort Tiffany, Alfred Vanderbilt, Joseph Pulitzer, J.P. Morgan, Pres. William Howard Taft, and Mary Cassatt. Known for its chicken and lobster dinners, the Somes House operated into the 1950s with rates of $5 to $10 a day." - “Mount Desert Island - Somesville, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor” by Earle G.

It was built for a family of Puritan immigrants from Yorkshire in England, Jonathan and Grace Fairebanke and their six children. Dendrochonology (tree ring dating) has confirmed a construction date of the late 1630s-early 1640s. The house was passed down to succeeding generations of the family until the early twentieth century. In all, eight generations of the Fairbanks family lived in the house.
