Cigar-box frame with photo showing the Islesford Congregational Church built in 1898, the home built for Edward and Lucinda Fernald in 1865 and, on the right, the house built by Lamont and Agnes (Hadlock) Spurling in 1886-87.

These frames were made of sticks and whittled from cigar boxes by surfmen at the Islesford Life Saving Station during their spare time. The photo shows the Main Road in circa. 1920's before it was paved. The photo and frame hung in the Spurling house and was given to the Islesford Historical Society by Cara Spurling in 2005.
