17173. Groth, Karen Nelson. Westport’s Masterpiece: Building the Grays Harbor Lighthouse, 1897-1898. 2010. Nicholson Press. 164p. Soft wraps. Well done exhaustive account following following Carl W. Leick, an exceptional architect responsible for the construction of several lighthouses in the northwest. The Grays Harbor Lighthouse is considered to have been his masterpiece. The author drew her inspiration from the journal she discovered at the National Archives in Seattle. She then unearthed several letters in Washington DC, and copies of the original plans at the Coast Guard’s archives in California. Combined with an archive of the family’s photographs that she obtained, the author examines the construction of the lighthouse from a new perspective. Well done, detailed work. A fine addition to any lighthouse library. Clean, tight, rarely opened. Difficult to find. (VG+). $76.
