R-08. Original hand drawn architectural drawings Wood End, Long Point Type Light Towers.
Original hand drawn architectural drawings Wood End, Long Point Type Light Towers. We have been very fortunate to come across a lot of over 137 original architectural drawings for the construction of various lighthouses, keeper’s dwellings, oil houses, range beacons and more This lot originated from the Lighthouse Establishment / Coast Guard archives of Captain Lorenzo Sitgreaves (1811-1888), of the United States Topographical Engineers and others, who was closely involved in the design and construction of many lighthouses throughout the country and disposed of years later. This lot includes one-of-a-kind items and includes 137 original full color hand drawn in ink on linen architectural drawings. These represent an unprecedented view into the design and construction of the lighthouse, oil house and other parts of the station. The drawings are quite beautiful and would be wonderful for research or to frame for display.
