Many of us hereabouts are obsessed with this iconic boathouse in Conary Cove. In fact, some of us take far too many photographs of this everchanging view. Nonetheless, here’s a November scene for my fellow obsessives:
This landmark has been repaired, restored, and repainted a number of times. As far as I can tell, the original boathouse was built around 1913 and it was white or gray then. Perhaps originally, but at least by the early 1950’s, it had a pier extending far into the Cove from those two side doors. I’ve been unable to determine when and why the pier was removed and to find out when the boathouse first was painted red.
Perhaps one of you can help us with some of the boathouse’s unknown history. (Image taken in Blue Hill, Maine, on November 6, 2021.)
