Ruth and Clarence "Mac" Crosby
&
Cove House
During my stay here in Maine this Fall I have been fortunate to obtain or obtain access to some wonderful old pictures of Cove House, the Crosby's and the neighborhood in general. It seemed like it was time to add a scanner to the computer equipment list, so I have scanned everything that I have been able to.
Thanks to all who gave me the pictures or made them available.
If you have more you would like to add send me electronic or paper
input. I will post electronic and scan. post and return paper.

Houses
The Cove House WAY back. Thanks for John LaF. for the photo! It matches the magnets we got last year.
The Crosby house shortly after it was moved to its current location. It had been the "Fish House" down on the Cove, was moved to the property behind Cove House (what is now the Cove Condo parking area) and finally in the early 1960's to its current location at 6 Railroad Ave. Note the height of the trees and the green cottages next door. And, the awnings that match the ones still on the front of the Cove House.
The Crosby
House today. Again, note trees and the charming mustard cottages!
