Description

Admiralty Head Light Station was retired in 1922. The lamp room was removed and taken to the remodeled New Dungeness Light Station. The light station was abandon.

The light was used as a troop quarters during WWII and painted olive drab green. It was again abandon, left to rot and be forgotten after WWII.

The citizens of Island County Washington and the town of Coupeville had other ideas. This magnificent old mariners� beacon had been designed by none other than Carl W. Leick, the German designer and engineer: much too fine of a structure to be vandalized, ruined and forgotten.

The lighthouse was cleaned up, repaired, repainted in its original colors, and the lamp room replaced with a pseudo lamp room, that serves as a very nice observation room with glazing 360 degrees. The current lamp room has vertical astrals instead of the diagonal ones in the original lamp room. The local historical society runs this wonderful facility and they provide docents who keep it open to the public.

Admiralty Head is located in Fort Casey and sits at Latitude: 48.16079
Longitude: -122.68101
