IN PROGRESS I believe the lobby windows were taken from the previous church on this site.

Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, Bar Harbor. Architect: Victor Hodgins of Bangor, completed in 1908. The first Catholic church in Bar Harbor was called St. Silvia’s (also spelled 'Sylvia's'). During Holy Redeemer's construction that name was used for the new building as well, so for a few years there were two 'St. Silvias' in Bar Harbor. Newspaper articles distinguished between the two by referring to 'St. Sylvia’s on Kebo Street’ and 'St. Sylvia’s at the corner of Ledgelawn and Mount Desert Street.’ The first St. Silvia’s was torn down in 1909 and the name of the new church was changed in 1910.

IN PROGRESS: Church of Our Father, Hulls Cove, Maine. Architect: William Masters Camac of Furness, Evans and Company, Philadelphia. Constructed 1890; first service May 31, 1891.

The former Manset Union Church in Southwest Harbor is now the home of the Southwest Harbor Historical Society. Constructed between ca.1828-30 with reovations in the 1880s which probably included the stained glass panels. It has also been called the Southern Meetinghouse, the New Meeting-House, the Manset Baptist Church, and the Rock Church.

Work in progress: The former Otter Creek Congregational Church, now the Otter Creek Hall, Otter Creek, Maine. Fundraising for a Congregational church in the village of Otter Creek began around 1901: the local paper reported on a steady stream of chicken suppers, fairs, and entertainments organized by the Otter Creek Aid Society. The church was probably designed by its builder, whose name I have yet to uncover. It was dedicated in 1904, and decommissioned in the early 21st century. The building is now a community hall owned and maintained by the Otter Creek Aid Society. The windows of the Otter Creek Hall are made of cathedral glass set into a wooden framework, which was a less expensive alternative to leaded glass windows. 'Cathedral glass,' also called 'rolled glass;' is machine-made, rolled into flat sheets and and stamped with patterns while hot, and was popular in the US from around the 1870s onward.

Eden Baptist Church, Salisbury Cove, Maine. Built and probably designed by Samuel N. Emery and Asa Hodgkins, members of the congregation, 1875.

IN PROGRESS: St. Jude's Church, Seal Harbor. Architect: William Randolph Emerson of Boston, constructed 1887-88.

IN PROGRESS: Southwest Harbor Congregational Church, Southwest Harbor, Maine. Design and construction attributed to James T. Clark of Tremont, 1883-85.

Work in progress: St. Edward's Convent, Bar Harbor, Maine (now a private residence). Architect: Milton Stratton of Bar Harbor, 1917. Windows by the Century Stained Glass Works of Philadelphia, 1917. St. Edward's was planned and funded by Louise Drexel Morrell (Mrs. Edward de Veau Morrell) whose sister, Saint Katharine Drexel, founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the order associated with this convent. The windows in the chapel represent the patron saints of Mrs. Morrell, her husband, and members of her family. Together with the Ledgelawn Avenue rectory and St. Edward's School (now an apartment building) behind them on Shannon Way, the convent formed part of the complex of buildings associated with Holy Redeemer Catholic Church.

IN PROGRESS: St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church, Northeast Harbor, Maine. Original building completed 1898, architect unknown. Expanded 1902, architect: Edwin Denby of Bar Harbor and NY.

Work in progress: St. Mary's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, Northeast Harbor, Maine. Architect: Henry Vaughan, completed 1902. Renovations by Ralph Adams Cram, ca.1925.

IN PROGRESS: St. Saviour's Episcopal Church, Bar Harbor. Architects: C. C.Haight of New York City; Rotch & Tilden of Boston; Baker and Dallett of Philadelphia. 1877-1902. St. Saviour's has been extensively redesigned and rebuilt through the years. The original building, now the south transept, was designed by C. C.Haight of New York City and constructed 1877-78. In 1885-86 a new design by Rotch & Tilden of Boston added the nave, a semi-circular apse, and the tower. In 1901-2 Baker and Dallett of Philadelphia replaced the 1886 apse with the current chancel, chapel and sacristy. St. Saviour's is the largest church on the island, with a correspondingly large collection of stained glass windows.

The Town Hill Federated Church was constructed in 1907. From 1925-1945 it was part of the Mount Desert Greater Parish, which shared pastors and resources among the Congregational, Baptist, Unitarian, and Federated churches in the villages of Otter Creek, Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Town Hill, and Somesville. It is currently unoccupied. The Town Hill Village Improvement Society is raising funds to repair and adapt it as a community hall.

IN PROGRESS: Tremont Baptist Church, Seal Cove. Sometimes called the Seal Cove Baptist Church.

IN PROGRESS: Tremont Congregational Church, Tremont, Maine. Design and construction attributed to James T. Clark of Tremont, ca.1889. I photographed Tremont Congregational in a torrential downpour and need to re-shoot on a brighter day.
