The image showcases an exquisite example of a historic lighthouse converted into a residence, executed in a style characteristic of late 19th century American Victorian architecture. The structure features a light beige (sand) main facade color with a contrasting red tile roof.
Compositionally, the building consists of several volumes: the main lighthouse tower with its characteristic lantern room at the top, crowned by a dome-shaped roof, and an adjoining two-story residential wing with a spacious veranda. The facade is clad with wooden shake siding, creating a textured surface.
The decorative elements deserve special attention: white carved railings on the upper platforms and staircase, ornate brackets supporting the veranda roof, and classic Victorian decorative elements on the gable. The windows are framed with simple casings, typical of maritime architecture. The external staircase with white balusters creates a dynamic diagonal line on the facade, connecting the building's levels.
The architectural solution organically combines the functionality of a lighthouse with the comfort of living space, demonstrating an excellent example of adaptive reuse of historical structures. The waterfront location emphasizes the building's original purpose and creates an expressive contrast between the architecture and its natural surroundings.
