I'm near Bar Harbor, Maine, where there were also many vanished estates, and unfortunately, no one saved many of the brochures for those houses. I may yet, inspired by your own great blog, start one for the vanished Bar Harbor estates.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-32907599264277059222009-08-17T13:14:19.029-04:002009-08-17T13:14:19.029-04:00Yes, Mondays are definitely a valid excuse.

She never occupied this house, and it remained empty until 1958. It would be fascinating to know the whole story.
