A shingled keeper's house stands beside the lighthouse on this rocky stretch of coast, the two buildings sharing a single weathered grounds plot. Keeper's houses like this one were built to hold the family who tended the light, which meant a lamp that had to be trimmed, wound and watched through every night and every gale. The gray cedar shingles, a common cladding on New England coastal buildings of the 19th century, were chosen because they shed salt spray and winter weather well. Southeastern Massachusetts has a long run of such stations, and the combination of a tower and dwelling on bare granite is worth a closer look.
