"In early summer, we received an interesting call from College arborist Tim Vail. While working on Orr's Island, he [Vail] stumbled across the writing cabin of Lawrence Sargent Hall '36, the well-known Bowdoin professor who died in 1993. The amazing aspect of Vail's discovery is that the writing cabin sits unchanged from Hall's inhabitance a decade ago...According to Lawrence Hall, Jr., all or at least parts of any of his father's significant works, including the O'Henry Award-winning short story, "The Ledge," were written in "the fish house," as Hall called it (the shed was originally used by local fisherman to dry cod fish)." With Hall's permission, O'Donnell had the writing cabin moved to his property. (See About the Fishouse and the Brunswick Times Record May 25, 2006 story by Elizabeth Brogan - From the Fishouse.)
