This light is located in the Bass Harbor village of the Town of Tremont on Mount Desert Island, bordering Acadia National Park.
Authorized in 1855 and completed in 1858 it is a brick tower attached to a one and one half story house. The house now is home to the Commander of the local Coast Guard Station, prime quarters it is.
This lighthouse is the favorite of my daughter Rhonda, I remember she was excited when she saw it the first time. It is, after all, in a stunning location, well visited and photographed too.
