Candy Cane Lighthouse
Ok, so it’s really not the “Candy Cane Lighthouse”, but I had to work a Christmas theme in somehow😁! This is the West Quoddy Head Light Station and it is the easternmost building in the United States. The present light station includes a tower, former keeper's quarters, service building and oil house. The tower is circular and is 49 feet (15 m) in height, with the beacon at 83 feet (25 m) above sea level. The light, magnified by a third-order Fresnel lens, has a range of 18 miles (29 km). The tower is built of brick and painted in alternating horizontal red and white (candy cane😁) stripes. A small gabled entry vestibule, also brick, projects from the tower. The keeper's house is a wood-frame structure, 11⁄2 stories in height.
