EASTERN ILLUSTRATING COLLLECTION

The Head of the Pond

This photograph shows the “Head of the Pond.” The three cottages in the center were constructed very early.  “Methuen Cottage” was built in 1896 and “May’s Cottage” was built in 1898. Searles Castle can be clearly seen on the crest of the hill in the background. At the time of this photograph was taken neither Dunkan Beach or Armstrong Beach are not yet in operation and the land where they would eventually open is still marsh and woodlands
