April Mystery Photo Revealed
Many people answered some of the questions about the April Mystery Photo, but no one answered all of them. Here are the answers: The wharf is Eastern Landing; the ledge is Uncle Jack’s Ledge; the large building in the middle is the Hamilton Hotel; The cottages built c. 1907-08 are owned by the Rogers (furthest) and Graves (closer) families. The extra credit question referred to the building with a cupola, which was originally the home of Jeremiah and Matilda Hamilton. It burned in the Hill Crest fire of 1924 – the Leonard house sits on that lot.
