From the 1880s to the end of World War I, the fashionable resort of Bar Harbor attracted thousands of summer visitors with the money and leisure to pursue "the simple life on a grand scale," as A.

The Depression and World War II undermined the summer colony, and the Great Fire of 1947 dealt the final blow. Those...
