- (photo) Mount Desert Rock Lighthouse, Maine c.1900+. Nice small print of the Mount Desert Rock lighthouse depicts the keepers’ house and out buildings at this remote Maine island lighthouse. Mount Desert Rock is one of the most isolated and desolate places ever used as a site for a lighthouse in the United States. The lighthouse lies on a dangerous granite ledge lying twenty eight miles from the nearest mainland. Storms fairly sweep over the six acre rock and at times nearly swept the keeper’s house away. Photo depicts the 1850’s granite lighthouse as well as the 45-foot bell tower and duplex keepers’ dwelling, boathouse and more. Photo measures 4” x 5” and is clean and clear. (VG+). $8.
