Description: The photographer and date are unknown, but judging from the gasoline pumps at the end of the wharf, the photo could be as early as the 1920s.
One of the photos is a Christmas card from H. R. Beal and Sons, Inc. signed Harvard & Elva. Another shows what appears to be construction of the wharf during the early 1900s judging by the pickup truck in the background.

The photos belonged to my father. He had them at the time of the construction and when the bridge was finished. I do not know who took them. I put them on the computer a long time ago. I believe I scanned them. Some belonged to my sister so I don't have those originals in my possession. -- Therese Klotz Marshall, October 2016

The photograph shows a row of houses on Ord Street in Aberdeen, where Jonathan Stewart grew up. It explains a mystery that has confounded historians in Maine for some time. How did the granite house at 419 Main Street in Southwest Harbor come to be? Jonathan built it in 1947.

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."
