12391. (glass negative) Gay Head Lighthouse, Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. c.1900. Clear glass plate negative captures nicely a view rarely seen of the handsome Gay Head Lighthouse with brick keeper’s dwelling, which stands in one of the most picturesque locations in New England, atop the 130-foot multicolored clay cliffs at the western shore of Martha’s Vineyard. The brick lighthouse tower and keeper’s house were constructed in 1854-1856. Due to the extreme dampness of the keeper’s house, the 1856 brick keeper’s house was torn down and replaced by a wooden dwelling in 1902, thus dating this view before 1902. Note the many out-buildings, and the unusual pennant flying from the flag mast. . Large image measures 4” x 5”in original photographer’s envelope, and is clear and close. Would provide a fine image. (VG+). $84.
