A bygone era!

If you are curious about the history of Bar Harbor, particularly the wealthy from New York, Boston, Philladelphia and beyond who summered in their "cottages" in Bar Harbor, this is the book to get. There are black & white photos of many, many cottages along with the history of ownership. Included are some interesting antedotal sidebars of the characters and their wealth. What a shame they all burned in the great fire or were demolished later. So interesting!
