One of the Kitchens at Dixon's Lakeside Cottages, Readfield, Maine D510
Image shows a simple, 1950s-era kitchen, with a sink/counter unit, gas stove, and refrigerator. Part of the living area can be seen through a doorway. The floors are Linoleum; walls are plain unfinished wood studs and sheathing. Located on the east shore of Lake Maranacook, the cottages at "Dixon's" were once part of a summer camp called Kamp Kiwanacook, founded by Readfield attorney Ellsworth E. Peacock in 1925. He later converted the complex to housekeeping cottages, calling it Kamp Peacock. Around 1950 the cottages were owned by the Dixon family, who sold the cabins to individual buyers. Many remain and are in private hands today. The area is now known as "Lazy Loon Shores". [Blog - Readfield History Walks, #27]
