View of Bass Harbor from the Underwood Water Tower

The building with the tower in the distant background was the Charles B. Dix / Simeon Amassa Holden house and the stable (now moved) is the large building in the field behind it.

The boathouse for that property, the Captain Charles B. Dix (1836-1906) Boat House, is on the white house directly on the shore next to the large clump of trees. It was the Lyle Arlington Reed house at the time the picture was taken - 143 Harbor Drive (Route 102A), Tremont, Maine.

The building out on the spit is Little Island Marine, begun after WWII c. 1945-1946.

The business on the shore just to the right of the wharf building was Lyle Arlington Reed’s store - 35 Shore Road, Bass Harbor (formerly McKinley), Maine.

The small brown house in the middle of the large lot at the right, almost at the corner of McMullen Avenue and the Shore Road belonged to George Al Lovejoy (1903-1964). The house is now gone. It probably sat on the 9 McMullen Avenue property, Map 12 – Lot 44.

The large building in the right foreground was owned by H.G. Reed and housed the Post Office on the ground floor facing the Shore Road – 45 Shore Road, Bass Harbor, Maine – Map 12 – Lot 43

The building at the left foreground was W.H. Thurston's General Store – later the Seafood Ketch restaurant – 47 Shore Road – Map 12 – Lot 42.
