The New Mount Kineo House 
Moosehead Lake, Maine 
T HE Mount Kineo House, famous for over half a 
century, has been reconstructed and sumptuously 
refurnished by its new owners, the Maine Central Rail¬ 
road, and is now under the management of the Ricker 
Hotel Company of Poland Springs. 
With its picturesque environment, Kineo offers an 
unrivalled combination — the luxury of a magnificent 
new hotel, gay with social life and the invigorating 
atmosphere of woods and waters. 
T HE New Mount Kineo House, with its cottages, 
overlooks Moosehead Lake, while behind it towers 
the mountain with the unbroken forest stretching away 
and away to Labrador. Golf, tennis, tramping, rid¬ 
ing, boating, famous fishing — all doubly delightful 
in the cool, bracing air. A cuisine rivalling that of 
famous metropolitan hotels—varied by the wild-woods 
food for which these surroundings create a genuine 
back-woods appetite. 
With its increased facilities the New Mount Kineo House can accommodate over 500 guests. 
Early reservation, however, secures the choicest rooms and cottages. Write us for rates and 
reservations, and for our superbly illustrated book, full of interesting facts and descriptions.

to render as easy as possible the fitting of 
sash and screens. The floors need have 
but a moderate slope, say one inch in eight 
feet. The most serviceable floor is can¬ 
vas duck over spruce flooring; the canvas 
should be laid in paint and given two coats 
of lead and oil and one coat of spar var¬ 
nish; or, if this should prove too expen¬ 
sive, the canvas might be omitted and the 
joints of the spruce flooring painted with 
lead and oil as laid. This gives a satisfac¬ 
tory floor for all ordinary purposes. 
Doors to the sleeping-rooms are best sin¬ 
gle Dutch doors at least three feet eight 
inches wide, to permit the beds (single 
beds three feet wide) to be rolled in and 
out. The thresholds at these doors should 
be rounded. If electricity is at hand, there 
should be at least one ceiling light, one 
Detail section through sleeping-porch, show¬ 
ing sliding sash arrangement and drainage 
of floor 
bracket near the bed with chain pull 
socket and long chain, and one base outlet 
for reading lamp or electric warming pad. 
The question of design has been placed 
last in the consideration of the essentials 
of the sleeping-porch, but obviously is 
not the least important, for unless the 
porch can be made to appear as part of 
the general scheme, its usefulness will in 
many cases not always outweigh the sac¬ 
rifice in appearance. The one important 
consideration is that it should not have 
the appearance of an addition; that is eas¬ 
ily avoided by giving the sleeping-porch 
its proper place in the general scheme as 
soon as the first rough sketch is attempted. 
Thereafter it is to be treated as any other 
integral part of the structure. Any at-
