This house was built on 100 acres purchased by William Heath for $11.07 in 1798. According to a pledge made by Eugenia Ketterlinus, Heath's heirs, including J. Julian, Louise M., Victor A. and Fred W., could occupy the house until their death. Eugenia had acquired the property through a tax lien. The Mill was across the road from the house.

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."
