Main Lodge - Spencer Bay Club, Moosehead Lake, Maine A12C

View of a simple camp building, with dormers and a wrap-around porch, in a wooded setting. The vertical log and shingle building is probably a fishing camp lodge. A tent is visible at the far left. Spencer Bay, the location of several sporting camps by the mid-20th century, is a major eastern arm of Moosehead Lake, known for its pristine remotenes, beauty, and recreational appeal - particularly fishing. The image shows cracking, due to emulsion shrinkage on the negative's acetate. A note on the negative sleeve reads: "Original owned by Amory Houghton, Spencer Bay Club, Moosehead Lake, Greenville, Maine Winter address: Belfast, Maine"
