Description

Mount Desert has been considered one of The us’s favorite tourist destinations for over 150 years. As early as the 1840s, the lush landscape of this island at the Maine coast attracted artists and writers, who soon made Mount Desert’s beauty famous with their paintings and publications. The stream of tourists that started traveling to the island after the Civil War prompted a building boom of cottages, hotels, and more than a few buildings in Bar Harbor and other towns within the vicinity.

Fred Savage (1861–1924) used to be probably the most influential architect within the development of Mount Desert and northeastern Maine, designing over three hundred buildings. Richly illustrated with archival drawings, photographs, and newly commissioned color photography, Maine Cottages presents all of Savage’s most necessary works even as placing the life and career of this architect within the larger context of Mount Desert.
