• Name:John Griebel MTU Class of:2000, 2008 Along with the new" stone bridge featured in this 1928 photograph, the background features two buildings of the "Range Light" structures run by the U.S. LIGHTHOUSE SERVICES. The white building in the right background is the Range Light and Keepr's dwelling. At the opposite side of the Range Light House (north) is a beacon that is lined up with another beacon located on the shore to guide ships through the harbor's entry passage. The building in the left background was the barn for the Range lightkeeper's garden and maintenance. The barn has since been moved further north away from the road and had also been used as a dormitory for seasonal workers and MTU Archaeologists over the years. Plans are now being formulated for the possible renovation of both buildings and the proposed installation of a Lighthouse/Maritime Museum?Exhibit in the main building that will be adjacent to the Lighthouse Overlook at Ft. Wilkins Historic State Park." 9/22/2011 11:41:21 AM by Anonymous
