A. L. [Arthur A.] Gilley's barber shop is on the left - a small building which forms but a fraction of the structure. It is possible that, at the time this photograph was taken, Maurice Marshall was renting the barber shop. The gasoline pumps shown on the right are in what is now the Post Office parking lot. The bandstand can just be seen across Main Street in the back of the photograph. The automobile is definitely c. 1925-1926 - very possibly a 1925 Maxwell 5 Passenger Sedan. To read about the Maxwell Motor Car Company - See “Maxwell Motor and the Making of the Chrysler Corporation” by Anthony J. Yanik, published by Wayne State University Press, 2009.

The advertisement for the film “Abraham Lincoln – A First National Picture” on the side of the theater building dates this photograph. This version of the Abraham Lincoln story, a short, was filmed in 1924, produced by Lee DeForest, directed by J. Searle Dawley and featured actor, Frank McGlynn Sr. as Abraham Lincoln. The car on the left is a c. 1922 4-Door Sedan. The car in the middle is a c. 1920 4-Door Sedan. The car on the right is a c. 1920 4-Door Touring Car. The stairs, just visible, at the left of the theater building are the front steps of St. Johns Episcopal Church at 319 Main Street. The barn, just visible at the far left of the photograph, is the Francis Gilley / Dr. F.M. Gilley barn at 311 Main Street. The peak of the Southwest Harbor High School (later the Harbor House building) is just visible behind the left utililty pole. The school building is at 339 Main Street,
