Photo Caption:
|  |
This photograph of Heron Neck Lighthouse was dated 1937. The keeper standing on the steps of the keeper’s house is Andrew W. Bennett, the last keeper of the United States Lighthouse Service to have served here. Interestingly, the fog bell is not hanging from the fog bell tower and may have been moved to a pier. The fog signal building, sometimes referred to as the whistle house, had not yet been built when this photo was taken. The station’s log books indicate the fog signal building, also known as the whistle house, was constructed in 1948 and it was officially reported in operation in 1949. Also shown here are a couple of out-buildings that no longer stand. (Lighthouse Digest archives.)
