The second visible house, number 11, was built by her son, Phillip Tracy Carroll, in 1932. The third visible house, number 17, was built by builder Robie Melvin Norwood Jr. for himself in 1924. Rebecca’s daughter Nellie “Nell” Rebecca (Carroll) Thornton built at 23 High Road in 1922. Another daughter, Alice (Carroll) Young built at 38 High Road in 1907. Compare this photograph to SWHPL 6350 in which Rebecca is shown standing at about the second tree on the left in this photograph.

The land in this photograph started out as part of the Clark family’s land, hence “Clark Point.” The upright building on the left of the photograph is the old Clark and Parker Store, the J.N. Mills Cash Store at the time this photograph was taken. Later it was the Manset Marine Supply store and, in 2012 the Oceanarium. This building is: 172 Clark Point Road – Tax Map 4 – Lot 30 – MHPC #405-0787. The wharf occupied by the long dormered building was originally Simeon “Sim” Holden Mayo’s boat shop. It was sold to Andrew Edward Parker in 1912. He ran a boat shop there until 1925 when it was sold to Chester Eben Clement for his boat shop. Researchers date this photograph at circa 1925 so it was probably still the property of Andrew Edward Parker. This building is: 168 Clark Point Road – Tax Map 4 – Lot 29.
