The Colony (1950) on Hulls Cove, Route 3 in Bar Harbor, Maine

by John Margolies

Transport yourself to the coast during the postwar nostalgia period with this one-of-a-kind photograph by award-winning architectural historian John Margolies. This unique print was taken in 1980 on scenic Route 3 in Hulls Cove, Maine. The Colony, a row of beautiful white cabins where motorists would park their vehicles next to the building, is featured in this photo (built around 1950). With the tall pines and clear blue sky as a backdrop, this photograph captures the glory days of automobile travel.

Essential for fans of Americana, old photographs, and retro coastal décor.
