Sepia Photograph of Bar Harbor looking east over the village to the Porcupine Islands. The street in the foreground is Mount Desert Street.

Floor plans, elevations, sketch Roc's comment: We renovated an existing barn on Bartlett into a series of second floor apartments for visiting guests and workers. This was done for Richard Rockefeller and his second wife Nancy just before he died in a plane crash. Savas Mutlu was the project manager and he was a delightful pro to work with for the last few years of our practice. Wish I had met him sooner.
