| 3495 | Henry R. Hinckley Company Manset Boat Yard Hinckely Company Hinckley Yachts |
|
|
|
| The Hinckley Company started in 1928 as the Manset Boatyard in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Henry R. Hinckley’s focus was on servicing the local lobster boats as well as the yachts of summer residents on Mt. Desert Island. Today Hinckley builds boats at its production facilities in Trenton, Maine, but the original Manset yard is at the heart of the Hinckley legend. Today it ranks as a world class service facility. |

| 3042 | J.L. Stanley Fishery J.L. Stanley & Sons |
|
|
|
| J.L. Stanley started the fishery in 1874. He expanded it and made his sons partners as they came of age. “J.L. Stanley has commenced to cut ice on his Lily pond and has put in one day’s hauling, in his ice house, of very superior quality and about ten inches thick.” – Bar Harbor Record, Thursday, January 19, 1888. "The ice dealers have nearly finished filling their ice houses. The weather of the last week was exceptionally good for their work, and the opportunity was improved. Three houses are filled by sluicing direct from the pond. John L. Stanley & Sons put up about 1,300 tons. They have about twenty five men employed cutting and sluicing. W.H. Ward put up about 1,000 tons, and has twenty men employed." - The Ellsworth American, Wednesday, February 12, 1902 - Manset news. Stanley had his own ice pond for the Fishery. There are several photographs of the ice harvesting operation at the pond. Part of the fishery was destroyed by fire in 1918, shortly before J.L. Stanley was prepared to retire. He continued the business to recoup the loss. The business was sold in 1928 after his death to C.W. Marion. The business was sold again in 1944 to William Sklaroff and again around 1955 to four brothers. J.L. Stanley Fisheries was completely destroyed by fire on April 12, 1967. |  J.L. Stanley Fishery J.L.

| 13927 | Eldering Cottage Frank Wells Ramseyer Cottage |
|
|
|
| "Eldering" was the summer home of Frank Wells and Linda Chapin Marcus Ramseyer. 1937 - Linda Chapin Marcus, daughter of Dorothy's brother, William Elder Marcus, Jr. and her husband, Frank Ramseyer Jr. bought a strip of six acres next to Dorothy's "High Tide" on Seawall Road, from Captain Hiram S. Hadlock and built their summer house, "Eldering." The name was partly in honor of Frank's descent from Elder Brewster of the Mayflower and partly from the name, Elder, in Linda's family. Frank W. Ramseyer designed the house, which was built by Sylvester Dorr. In about 1960 Hiram Hadlock's granddaughter, Eleanor M. Hadlock Gilley, sold another eleven acres to the Ramseyers, thus completing the present property. In 1942 an east wing was added to the house by Mr. Dorr and in 1964 a south ell, designed by Frank Ramseyer and built by Maurice Norwood. Frank's daughters, Helene Ramseyer Dickel and Lin Ramseyer Clayberg, added a garage of their design to the property. |  Eldering Cottage Frank Wells Ramseyer Cottage
