Just right. www.lighthousefriends.com photo

  This Light on Southern Island in the village of Tenants Harbor makes a pretty picture.  Tenants Harbor is a part of the Town of Saint George at the southwest edge of Penobscot Bay.  The Light was built in 1854.  The 27 foot tall brick tower is attached to a wooden house, the tower was painted white and the house was painted brown.  The fog house and oil house were also built.
  The Light was discontinued in 1933 and declared surplus.  The Town sold the lighthouse and buildings to private owners.  Eventually it was owned by artist Andrew Wyeth and his wife Betsy; they have made there home here along with Jamie Wyeth the house remains in the family and has been included in paintings by both artists.
  The studio is in the base of the bell tower, front and to the right in the above photo.
