Our Lighthouse• In 1837, £1000 were budgeted for the project, plus £50 when the
contractor was hired. The final report put cost of the lighthouse at £9 under budget, but an extra £100 was paid for lantern room repairs, making the final cost £1150.
• The designer specified Kingston Limestone and quarried sand for the tower. The builders, however, cut corners by using local limestone and beach sand.
• The local limestone proved not as durable as the Kingston variety, and soon began to crack. The rounded beach sand eroded from the mortar. Water leaking from the walls and roof froze in the winter. Continuing expansion and contraction of the water over time damaged the walls such that the entire lighthouse was surrounded by a timber girdle in 1894, and then surrounded by another layer of wooden shingles
• The keeper's residence was completed in 1846 • A fog signal building was added in 1906• The light was electrified in 1935, and automated in 1952. • A plaque commemorating the loss of the Speedy was erected in 1959

Moisture is a huge problem in this 69 foot high lighthouse and that is an immediate and major priority to stopping future damage.
