The boundaries commence at the point at which the northwestern corner of the 2008 Town of Bar Harbor tax map 101 lot 9 meets lot 8 and the shore of Frenchman's Bay. The boundary then follows the division line between lots 8 and 9 in a southwesterly direction approximately 225 feet before turning east southeast (132 degrees) and continuing for approximately 190 feet to the western edge of Acadia Lane. The boundary then traces the west side of Acadia Lane (as platted) southwesterly to the intersection with Eden Street. It then follows the northeast side of Eden Street until it meets the southeast corner of the property defined by the Town of Bar Harbor tax map number 103, lot 15. The boundary then follows this property line northeast until it intersects with the boundary of theTown of Bar Harbor tax map 103 lot 16. The boundary then follows this property line southeast, first to its intersection with Harbor lane, then northeast along the west side of Harbor Lane approximately 140 feet. The boundary line than crosses Harbor Lane and follows the southen boundary of the property described by the Town of Bar Harbor tax map 103, lot 23 to its southeast corner, and then turns north and follows the eastern boundary of that property line and then the eastern property line of the property described by tax map 103 lot 22 until such line intersects the shore of Frenchman's Bay. The boundary then travels in a generally northwest direction along the shore of Frenchman's Bay to the point of beginning. This boundary line includes all the properties described by the Town of Bar Harbor tax map 101 lots 32, 33, 34, and 35 and map 103 lots 12, 14, 15,16, 21, 22 and 23, and a portion of map 101 lot 9. Boundary Justification (explain why the boundaries were selected). Note, the eastern edge of this boundary is contiguous with the northwestern boundary of the West Street Historic District, NR 80000226. The boundaries of the district were drawn to include the last remaining significant concentration of 'cottages' that were not destroyed by the 1947 fire and which stilt retain all or most of the seven aspects of integrity. Properties with buildings erected after the fire, or which have been too greatly altered are not included within the district. However, there are individual 'cottages' which retain integrity and are similarly significant in other locations in Bar Harbor, but these are not contiguous to, and thus are not included within, this district. 11.
