Mildred Dolliver Gilley
The Harbourside Inn was built in 1905 as a dining room and clubhouse for adjacent summer cottages in Northeast Harbor, Maine.

A member of the local Savage family, Emily Phillips Kenney Reynolds, purchased the Inn and several adjacent properties in 1927 and ran the Inn with help in the later years from her daughter, Mildred Dolliver Chapman Gilley. Mildred Gilley sold the Inn in 1979 to John and Gerie Sweet. The caption included on this photo reads “Northeast Harbor: The Harbourside Inn. Electricity came in 1903, and the road grade was lowered between then and 1906.”
