The quarry was near, the stone lay in deep, out- standing beds, easy to work, and much stone was needed as the tower had to be built up from a depth below sea- level to obtain a firm foundation, its base being made into a swimming pool which filled itself naturally at high tide and could be drained when the tide was low. The whole work then carried out cost Mr. Pulitzer a hundred and forty-thousand dollars and led to a law suit, but it was profitable for the quarry and give it reputation for the good quality of its stone which ex- tended its use for other building. 2. Two houses built of it at that time, using the brown, oxidized, seamed surface of the quarry beds, the Edgar Scott house on Cromwell Harbor and the John Innes Kane house between it and the village, still remain as two of the most beautiful and most solid houses ever built upon Mount Desert Island. Fred L. Savage, an excellent local architect, A was in charge of the work on these houses, the plans, prepared by leading architects in Boston and New York, calling for this stone, whose quality they knew, and fred Brook Mr. Savage did the work so well that I place the quarry Bear thereafter in his hands to operate, which he continued to do till he died. Afterward the building of new summer residences at Bar Harbor coming to a stop, I closed the quarry and being occupied with other matters have never yet reopened it. But when later I gave my land upon the mountain to the Trustees of Public Reser- vations and they, later, to the Federal Government for the Park, I expressly reserved for the quarry sufficient rock for its future operation through many years. 3. Granite now is coming back into use, power drills have replaced the old hand drills, derricks are operated mechanically and motor trucks have replaced horses, creating great economies in the use of stone. There is no more enduring building rock than fine grained granite nor better monumental stone, as the old Egyptian monu- ments show, with the inscriptions upon them as clear as when first executed, after three to four thousand years. Bear Brook Guarry has lost no value through the years since it was operated. If the Government shall take it over for the purpose of its road, I do not want it taken as a thing without worth. I have taken interest and pride in the good product it turned out and the finely worked monuments to which the stone's good quality lent itself. But it so happened that there is no substiture for it as a road site if the Park's continuous mountain-to-shore motor road is built, for it occupies the corner where the road must turn and where the first sight of the ocean bursts upon one after descending from the mountain height. From the quarry summit the road shown in the survey made by the Federal Bureau of Roads, in preliminary study, runs straight to its objective -- the eastern end of the old Ocean Drive, near three miles away.

With over 50 rooms, Chatwold was now one of the largest houses in a town of very large houses. In the summer of 1902, seized with a new idea, Pulitzer summoned his secretaries, and in the library at Chatwold dictated an outline of this idea---for a school of journalism at Columbia University, which would also administer a prize for journalistic excellence, which eventually became the Pulitzer Prize. Pulitzer died aboard his yacht en route to his winter home on Jekyll Island, Georgia in 1911. The next year, the new Columbia School of Journalism was opened, and in 1917, the first Pulitzer prizes were awarded.
