Thought some folks might like to see some of the pics of a gatehouse built by John D. Rockefeller as an entrance to the carraige trails circa 1911 or 1912.
Passed by today on way to look at chimneys needing to be thru flashed in Northeast Harbor

Holy sheet. I thought John D. Rockefeller was just some rich guy. Now I know what a fine stonemason he was ; ). Nice photos there. I'm jealous of you guys in the northeast for the nice old buildings over there- that stuff is few and far between out here in the west.

I assume you were tongue in cheek on JDR-I'm sure he just doled out the scheckels,not actually laid up stone.
Pretty impressive for just the point of departure for his miles of carraige trails-now part of Acadia Nat. Park.
I thought you and others might like to see that stone and brickwork.
Acadia park and Cadilac Mtn....some fantastic hiking and views....hope I get there again.What does this situation in my life ask of me?
Man your making me home sick! Left Southwest Harbor a few years ago. I love the many stone bridges along the trails also.
