15547	Ocean View Cabins on Route 3 in Seal Harbor	Image, Photograph, Picture Postcard	Structures, Commercial, Lodging, Tourist Cabin		Luther S. Phillips, Bangor, Maine	1959 PM	Mount Desert, Seal Harbor		According to Earl Brechlin, the location of the cabins appears to be just east of Little Harbor Brook between Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The view is looking towards the southwest from the hill on the north side of Route 3. If you zoom in above the place you can just make out the bridge over the stream which is tidal at that point. The little island fits with topos of the area. There's a large estate there now. The back of the card indicates that the cabins were owned by Arthur and Evelyn Gibbs.
