One of the Gate Houses in Acadia National Park is missing - have you seen it? Actually, the missing Gate house is missing for a very good reason - it never got built. The Rockefeller's owned the land by Eagle Lake and it was their intention to build a third Gate House there, this one would include stables and a saddle station. But the lake was the source of the town's drinking water and they refused to grant a building permit for the third gate house.
Pictured is the Jordan Pond gate house.

Jordan Pond Gatehouse -

Had the third Gate House been built, we can only imagine how beautiful it would of looked with the lake as a backdrop.
By the way, if you want to take a tour of the inside of one of the two Gate Houses, check with the park - once or twice a year the Jordan Pond Gate House if open to the public.
