Mahlstedt TF. 1980. Report on the archeological monitoring of a potentially significant historic resource: The Carroll House; St. Sauveur Mountain; Acadia National Park. Division of Cultural Resources, North Atlantic Regional Office. Boston, MA
From the introduction: "On July 16 and 17, 1980, Tom Mahlstedt, Archeologist from the North Atlantic Regional Office, monitored ground disturbing activities at the Carroll House, Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park. The property has not yet been integrated into the Acadia National Park and awaits detailed historic and architectural studies. In the interim, efforts were made to correct a moisture problem in the basement underlying the southern half of the house. The Student Conservation Association provided the physical labor which included the excavation of two trenches, laying drainage pipes, shrubbery clearance, and fitting louvered shutters on the windows. The two trenches placed immediately adjacent the foundation on the east and west sides measured approximately 1.5-2.5 feet deep by 1.5-2 feet wide for a total of 170 linear feet. PVC drainage pipes were placed in the trenches and extended approximately 42 feet north of the house where they meet, providing drainage downslope from the structure."
