Chapel, Point St. George (PiP)


These buildings were the lighthouse keeper's home base and, presumably, maintenance shop when he was not manning the lighthouse, which is on a rock 6 miles out to sea. I don't know when the chapel was built, but it looks much newer than the rest. The light was completed in 1892 after numerous construction and budgetary problems and decommissioned in 1975. The property, including the light, is now owned by the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society, with plans for restoration.
From Wikipedia: "Duty at St. George Reef was among the most difficult of any station, due to its remote location and being surrounded by unpredictable, treacherous seas. Several people died during its construction and operation, dozens resigned or sought transfer, and a few even suffered mental breakdowns. Supplies came by launch, and the entire boat was hooked on the large boom and lifted to a boat deck at the base of the caisson. Storms routinely crested over the top deck of the caisson, and in 1952, storm waves even broke the windows in the lantern room 150 feet (46 m) above sea level with seawater streaming down the tower's staircase." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George_Reef_Light
