Old Stone House at the Two Lights. >,

But few of the light-towers that were built
IN this country prior to the present century,
nave so much as foundation stone remain
ing; but of the old rubble-stone keepers
dwellings many are still standing almost in
tact, and are connecting links between our old
and modern lighthouse systems. The Cape
Elizabeth light-station, though built in the
present century, its first towers were demol-
ished twelve years ago, but the keepers old
stone house, the first building erected, still
holds its own, and without doubt the year
1900 will find some family comfortably SET
tied within its solid walls. The old house
now stands vacant, waiting to receive new
family, and careful inspection of its inte
rior shows that it has undergone little, if any
deterioration, since the writer first entered
it as tenant, nearly thirteen years ago.
The old fashioned wainscotting, composed
of boards over twenty inches wide, reminds
us that when this house was built, Names
pine woods were primeval. In 1856 the house
was new rooted and enlarged by making the
walls higher. The new work was done in
bricks, and one may easily trace all around
the walls and up the gables where the more
recent work unites with the olden. These
stone houses were all formerly glazed with
by glass, "a lights to the window and the
one at the Cape has just two of the original
windows remaining, all the others being of q
more modern style.
The terrible hail storm, May 10Th, 1876, to-
tally destroyed all the windows, sash and
glass, on the north side They were the orig
inal "a light windows. The house stands
midway between the two lights, also between
the principal keepers and first assistants
houses, the prettiest location at the station;
and when it is dressed in fresh coat of daz-
cling whitewash, it is the most attractive
dwelling of them all. 1t has dry capacious
cellar that never freezes. This was eXcava-
ted in the solid ledge, the stone thus quarried
being used in constructing the house. The
man who next moves in will make the four
teenth keeper or assistant who has occupied
the house. There have been three deaths
under its roof, and as near as we can learn,
the same number of births. The new ten
ant, transferred man, comes from Boon Is
land, and from one of the Oldest and most
prison like of all the old stone lighthouse
dwellings.
No doubt he will find the house | have
briefly sketched, a palace compared with the
gloomy quarters he will vacate.
If the old house at Boon Island is the orig
nal one, the writer's grandfather was its first
tenant, as he was the first appointed keeper
of that isolated beacon. NJ. A. H.,
