1524d. (glass negative) Point Judith Lighthouse, Narragansett, Rhode Island c.1912. Vintage 5 x 7 inch glass plate negative includes the tall light tower and keeper’s house. In 1857, the new 51-foot brownstone tower and brick dwelling, connected to the tower by an enclosed walkway, were built. The lighthouse, which still stands today, is an octagonal structure. It was fitted with a fourth-order Fresnel lens from Paris, which also remains in place today. The upper half of the tower was painted brown and the lower half white not long before this photo was taken. Glass plate negative has been scanned as a positive to show image detail. Superb clear view will print well. Includes portion of original paper sleeve. (VG). $68.
