Daniel Coit Gilman Summer House, also known as Over Edge, is a house in Northeast Harbor, Maine. It is significant for its association with Daniel Coit Gilman, the president of Johns Hopkins University who led the development of graduate education in the United States, as well as co-founding the charitable trust behind the Skull and Bones society at Yale University.
