This is one of six 8 by 10 inch black and white photographs which are COPIES of Ballard photographs used in an exhibit from around 2001. The source of these prints is marked Jaylene. This photograph is of the Claremont Hotel from the water. There is a rowboat in the foreground. The float is in at the dock. The boat house is in the photo but without the deck it has now. The trees come up to the lawn hiding one house on the right side of the picture. Another house is more in view to the right of the hidden house. This is white with dormers.
The original of this photo --and possibly the negative -- are in the collection of the Southwest Harbor Public Library. MDIHS does not have permission to reproduce this image.
