Welcome to the Houses and Outbuildings of Bar Harbor home page, part of the Mount Desert Island Cultural History Project.

Purpose of this web page: The purpose of this web page is to present information about houses and outbuildings on Mount Desert Island. These houses differ from the named cottages (see the MDI cottage web page) primarily in size and cost and were the habitation of the year-round resident. Many (most?) of these are now represented by a cellar hole. The entries below are by the name of either the most recent resident(s) or by the best-known resident(s).

How to contribute: All information (including images) should be e-mailed to info@vfthomas.com or sent by traditional mail to Bar Harbor Houses and Outbuildinga at the address at the top of this page.
