The Henry D. Moore Library and Community Center in Steuben will host a talk given by Larry Smith on the cottages of Grindstone Neck at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12. 

The Grindstone Neck section of Winter Harbor was formed in 1889 by a group called The Gouldsboro Land Improvement Company with the idea of creating a summer colony, much like that of Bar Harbor. Many of the buildings on the neck were designed by Lindley Johnson and Wilson Eyre.
