The second example is the Charles Richardson Farmstead as it appears on the left in an old photograph.
Current photographs are below. Only the Cape Cod style house remains, with the small addition on the
back side and a small shed behind. Historically, Beech Hill Road was the only access to the southern part
of the west side of Mount Desert Island.
