The buildings behind the reservoir include the Deacon Clark's Island House complex at the far left of the photograph. To the right of the complex is the Joseph Gilman Parker Jr. House, the structure with six windows on the side. The Lawton Canning Factory is the building along the shore. There is a grounded schooner visible next to the factory. A large canoe can be seen to the right of the photograph tied to the mud flats.

The photograph belongs to the Clark family, descendants of Nathan Clark and Mercy (Higgins) Clark. Archivists have debated Mary's identity for some time. Their best guess is that she is Amelia Mary Clark (1831-1905), daughter of John Clark and Margaret Adaline (Richardson) Clark, granddaughter of Nathan Clark and Mercy (Higgins) Clark – Mrs. William Thomas Holmes, mother of Anson Irving Holmes. The photograph was likely taken at the Lewis Holmes house on Fernald Point Road.
