Al. The Piping Rock boathouse in Winter Harbor is very old. I haven't seen that in your pictures yet. Before all the cabins were there, in the winter, all the neighborhood kids used to slide down the big hill right onto the lake. Neighborhood kids used to fish off the dock too. The upstairs is now a condo.
It seems like you are doing all boathouses, not just old ones. I also haven't seen the Marriott's which was rebuilt a few years ago, taking out one boat space and the state didn't like that and after several years of legal actions, the Marriotts were forced to put it back to it's original size.
The Brophy's (by the Marriott's) is a beautiful old boathouse too. Bill Marriott was putting gas in his boat and it exploded, catching his boathouse and the Brophy boathouse on fire. (This is not the one mentioned above which was rebuilt.)
Another one (newer) in Winter Harbor was Okun's which has now been seized by the government as he got into trouble. It was built by Bob Bridert and was very pretty, but the state said it was too tall so they made him remove the top section. That section can be seen as you ride by to the left of the house tucked in the trees. It was much prettier in it's orignal state.
There are of course, lots of others in Winter Harbor, these just have a bit of a story.
