Note: While the photograph was dated 1895, by hand some time after it was taken, archivists surmise that a date of c. 1900 is more reasonable. Jennie L. Richardson (1883-) was listed as a cook in 1910 census. Whatever post she held at the Claremont, she was not on the staff, nor in this photograph, at the age of 12 should the photograph have been taken in 1895.

The front of the postcard is titled Harbor View, Southwest Harbor and shows a view of Deacon's Cove at low tide. Black's Ledge is in the foreground and Deacon's Cove is left of center. The photograph was taken from the western point of Clark or Deacon's Cove, Southwest Harbor, Maine. The ledge is an extension of the point. "Clark's" or "Deacon's Cove" which refers to Deacon Henry Higgins Clark (1811-1897), a patriarch of Southwest Harbor. The postcard was written by Annie Matilda (Crozier) Rand - Mrs. Edward Lothrop Rand, staying at the Seaside Inn at Seal Harbor to one year old Hollis Theodore Greenleaf in North Edgecomb, Maine. Annie has just left her brother-in-law Henry L. Rand's house, "Fox Dens," in Southwest Harbor. The back of the postcard reads: "Dear Hollis, This is a picture of the harbor where I stayed for a week before coming here. But you cannot see where "Fox Dens" is. That is what the place is called where I stayed before coming here. The land is covered with trees and right in among the rocks near the shore is built a bungalow. You would love to lie in your carriage on the piazza & look over the water. But you live in a very beautiful place. My kind rembrances to your mother & all. Love from A.M. Rand" The back of the postcard was originally SWHPL 8482, but has been combined with this item.

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.
