15219Eastern Point Light Station, Gloucester
  • Reference
  • Structures, Transportation, Lighthouse
  • Gloucester MA
Eastern Point Light Station is located on a rocky promontory overlooking Dog Bar Reef at the eastern entrance to Gloucester Harbor in Gloucester, Massachusetts. "Eastern Point Light Station was established in 1832. Following the arrival of the railroad in Gloucester in 1847 the fishing business exploded and the importance of Eastern Point Light increased. A new light tower replaced the poorly constructed original tower in 1848. American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910) lived at Eastern Point Light in 1880. Homer's works depicting the scenery and everyday life of this maritime community are among his most famous. The third and present tower was built in 1890 on the masonry foundation of the 1832 tower. The 36-foot tall, conical brick tower is painted white. An enclosed passageway and covered walkway connect the tower to the two-story double keepers' quarters, which was built in 1879. Eastern Point Light Station consists of the 1890 tower, keepers' quarters, walkway, oil house and bell tower. Also located on the site is a secondary keeper's dwelling (1908), a radio beacon (1931) and a foghorn (1951)." - National Park Service, Maritime History of Massachusetts, Eastern Point Light Station, Accessed online 02/05/08; http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/maritime/ept.htm

“Occupying the major portion of Cape Ann is the nationally renowned fishing and tourism city of Gloucester, its rugged, scenic southern coastline extending from Magnolia Point to Gloucester Harbor, Eastern Point, Bass Rocks, and Cape Hedge. Thirty-one miles from Boston, initially on the Eastern and then the Boston & Maine railroads, this venerable community, including Magnolia Point…, became the North Shore’s most significant summer resort center in the mid to late nineteenth century, boasting numerous single-season residences and the largest concentration of resort hotels between Boston and the southern coastline of Maine.” - “Summer By The Seaside: The Architecture of New England Coastal Resort Hotels, 1820-1950” by Bryant F.
