What's the context for your question? It may be easier to find if you provide more info. And what "ID" are you looking for? Street address? Owner? Name of the estate?

My father and his friend visited the Atlantic Coast with his 8mm camera in Summer 1957. In this picture from his film clip (just after visiting Thunder Hole) there's this stone building with a wood deck on the left. Small boats come and go and there seem to be a lot of visitors.

There are floating docks and waterskiing in the area. Film content of this area starts here.

I'm trying to ID locations in his films and would appreciate any help! His grandson is making a similar Atlantic Coast trip and may try visiting the same areas.

If you're interested, the entire 8mm film is here. The Acadia National Park content starts 3 minutes into the film.

I was just getting to that above. The original post has limited space.

Send the pic via email to the Mount Desert island Historical Society.

Just FYI that footage was almost certainly taken on a freshwater lake, and one larger than anything in Acadia NP or on MDI.

Fantastic footage, thank you for sharing!

Not the ocean shore on MDI

Agree with this, this is a lake. Reason being, the boathouses and docks show that the water stays at that level and doesn’t ride as a tide would.

Exactly.

Very nice. How did you figure it out?

Thanks for going above and beyond! They came from Buffalo and I’ll venture to say that this was on their return trip from Bar Harbor, Maine. Thanks again!

Perhaps I need to cast a wider net?

They just fed the image into Google search and posted the first result.

Cool!

This, it is a very unique building so Google found it right away. Looked at a bunch of pictures of blue water manor and confirmed this is the spot

so. this is lake george?
