Marguerite, McKay Cottages, Bar Harbor, Me. 2

Marguerite, McKay Cottages, Bar Harbor, Me. Bar Harbor residents provided accomodations for the influx of seasonal tourists in different ways. Over time they built small cabins (early motels), hotels, and converted private homes exclusively for lodging. Residents also made rooms in their homes available as rentals for tourists. The McKay Cottages were located on upper Main Street. Now much further back from the road, (moved c. 2004) and is McKay's Restaurant.." --Willie Granston, 2011
