The sign for what is now Clark Point Road refers to Steamboat Wharf, which is now part of the US Coast Guard property at the end of Clark Point Road. The horse drinking fountain is in the street in front of it. The Southwest Harbor School House as Harmon Block is the large white block-like building. The bell tower on the old Freeman Grammar School, now Harbor House, can be seen behind the Harmon Block.
