Funny that picture was posted yesterday. I was visiting with my mother yesterday, and we were talking about a similar photo from around the same time.

On the mountain side of the road, from left to right, are the barn, the Annex (a guest house), and the Green (also a guest house). Along the shore, the building to the far left, near the sand bar, was the ice house. It no longer exists. At the bottom of the driveway at the shoreline, you can barely make out the depot and the Summer House. Once the train no longer stopped there, the depot was moved to the mountain side of the road and renamed the Honeymoon Cottage. It is located to the right of the Green now, with another guest house, the Yellow, located between them. I am not sure when the the train stopped coming, but when my father was a child, his job was to run down to the train to collect the newspapers. That would have been around 1930.

Here is a picture of the depot in its original location, with the Summer House in the background.
