Clark Point Road goes off to the right in the foreground. The Left side of Main Street: J.C. Ralph's Studio is the first whole building visible on the left. One of the old street lights and the wall of the Southwest Harbor Public Library are visible on the far side of the Ralph building. The Right Side of Main Street: The "fountain" sitting in the road in just about at the corner of Clark Point Road, is a horse watering fountain. The white two-story building with the belfry was Southwest Harbor’s first high school before the building was turned ninety degrees and moved to become the Harmon Block at 337 Main Street. Gilley Plumbing, later the Gilley Plumbing Company, is visible beyond the school building.

The view is toward the head of Southwest Harbor. The house in the far background at the extreme left is the James E. Robinson house, which then occupied what is now 410 Main Street in Southwest Harbor – Map 3 – Lot 44 – MHPC #405-0145. The building to its right in the photograph is the Farnsworth Store. The house in the foreground right - behind the tennis players is: Joseph Gilman Parker Jr. House ME – SWH – Clark Point Road - 114 The tennis players were most probably guests at the Island House across Clark Point Road from where they are playing on its lawn.
