Buoy shed at Point LookoutEntry/Object ID
1980.001.0050Description
5"h x 7"w black and white photo of the buoy shed at the Point Lookout Light Station, a large gable-roofed industrial building with vertical wood siding much in need of paint. This view was of a gable end and one long side, with the chainlink fence between the photographer and his subject. The roof appeared to have asphalt shingles in poor repair. About half way down the roof peak, a brick chimney was visible and another chimney rose above the opposite gable end. On the gable end there was a junction box and two large power lines against the building about in line with the eaves. Two transformers were supported well above the ground, presumably for safety in high water. Some sort of small stack emerged from the gable end and just cleared the roof line. On the long wall, there was first a single six-over-six light window, a pair of tall four light windows, a pair of smaller six-over-six light windows and two widely separated tall windows. Power entered the building in two places on the wall. There were lots of wires and poles visible, but it was not possible to tell if they were next to the building or on the space between the building and the fence. Another white building was beyond the photographer's subject and then a triangular tower and a large tower capped by a radome.
