Description
Bass Harbor Head Light Station is the fifth most popular destination in Arcadia National Park. It is often photographed and painted, something I was not aware of when I inadvertently joined the hoards of artiest who were also captured by it's charm.
The following information is from the National Park website: https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/bass-harbor-head-light-station.htm
History:
Bass Harbor Head Light Station was constructed in 1858 from funds appropriated by Congress. The site was considered significant from 1858 to 1948 for its mid-19th Century design and construction, and for its association with Maine’s critical reliance on maritime transportation and aids that made that transportation possible. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The property was previously administered by U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), totaling 2.5 acres with five structures contributing to the historic landscape. This included:
Lighthouse (1858) with a tower that is 37-feet tall including the lightening rod. The lantern (1901) is a fourth-order Fresnel lens. The light is occulting red for four seconds and eclipsed for one second. The range is 13 miles.
Keeper’s dwelling (1858)
Bell House (1897)
Oil House (1902)
Barn (1905)
