As I mentioned in last week's Lighthouse of the Week post, I'm featuring two lighthouses that are very close to each other, in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
So this week it's the Newburyport Harbor Range Rear light, which doubles as a lighthouse and a place to eat. Seriously!
Back to the map, as a reminder: this is where it is.
The Lighthouse Directory gives us this information about it:
"1873. Inactive since 1961. 53 ft (16 m) square tapered red brick tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 2-story wood keeper's house. The tower is unpainted on three sides; the side facing the river is painted white. Lantern and gallery painted black. The keeper's house is used for offices. ... The Lighthouse Preservation Society reached an agreement with the owner, developer David Hall, to have the structure restored and interpreted. LPS is offering the tower for dinners for two with a reservation fee $350, half going to the preservation fund."Learn more about that here: Lighthouse Preservation Society (good animations)
