GREEN MOUNTAIN RAILROAD CAR DESTROYED BT FIRE

Bar Harbor Record
August 18, 1915

The old Souvenir, a building which was made out of a car which helped to make up that famous train which ran up Green Mountain, was nearly destroyed by fire on Tuesday night of last week.  The car was made over into a building and served as a cobble shop on Main Street for a number of years, and was finally moved back on a hill which is known as the Back Hill and occupied as a dwelling by Gene Stevens.  On Tuesday night the owner rushed into the engine house and said that his bungalow was all on fire.  The firemen went down with a chemical and after some trouble succeeded in putting out the fire.  The bed had caught, apparently from a pipe, and the whole place came near being destroyed.
