George Soules photographed the interior of the Criterion from the balcony with a Canon 5D Mark III DSLR and a Canon 24mm tilt/shift lens using available light, which there was little of. To the naked eye, the space does not look nearly this bright. The first image (angle view) is a four-slice panorama with a 140° field of view. It is a composite of 12 different frames. The second image (straight-on view) is a six-slice panorama with a 190° field of view. It is a composite of 18 different frames. Both images were shot at f/8, ISO 400, with three different exposures for each slice. Exposures ranged from 10 seconds for the main room to 1/25th second for the chandelier.

This photograph was taken during the McMullen era of the quarry. - Steven Haynes - Maine Granite Industry Historical Society - 2007 The large building on the left housed the compressor. The two story building on the right had offices on the first floor and draftsmen above. The blacksmith shop was in the center of the picture. The long structure in the background was a traveling crane to carry the stone for the cutter."- MH - Mt. Desert Islander - 2007.

Taken in early May during the last snowfall of the season. This building used to sit between the restaurant and what is now staff housing. It was torn down some time after the Jordan Pond House burned in 1979. It had three floors with beds for male employees. Residents shared a single bathroom having one toilet and one shower stall. Female staff resided on the second floor of the restaurant.
