13391. (mounted photo) Keeper Peers out Window, West Point Lighthouse, Seattle, Washington c.1902. Interesting photo dated 1902 shows three visitors posing for the camera as the Keeper peers from the 1880 fog signal building window. George. T. Fonda was principal keeper during this period (1883 – 1907) and this may be he. Writing on the back indicates that old friends Olga Paulson Gould and Constance Margaret Haas pose in front of the lighthouse with an unidentidied gentleman. Dated April 20, 1902. Situated at the end of a low, half-mile-long, sandy point, which extends into Puget Sound from the base of Magnolia Bluff, the 1881 West Point Lighthouse still sends out alternating red and white flashes. Image measures 3 ½” x 4 ½” on 5” x 6” mount. Clean, clear, nice view. (VG+). $64.
