Maine Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Building/Structure Survey #405-0063 The building was originally located in front of Pemetic High School, now Pemetic Elementary School, at 329 Main Street. It was moved across the street in 1938 to serve as a building to store fire trucks, town equipment and, initially, the school bus. The second floor, where the town office is now located, was used primarily for storage. The town office was located on the second floor of the Odd Fellows building on Main Street until 1982 when the second floor of the former school (building in this picture) was remodeled into a town office.

This boat shop, built behind the owner's house, complete with two elegant bird houses, could have belonged to any one of many boat builders on and around Mount Desert and its surrounding islands or perhaps have been somewhere else in Maine. It is typical of the way mechanization crept into the boat building and servicing industry. The sign on the roof of the shop says, "Hartford Marine Gas Engines For Sale."
