Sketch of Lighthouse

The Back Story:

Browns Point

On December 12, 1887, two years before Washington became a state, a fixed lantern was placed on a post at Point Brown, about twelve feet above sea level. In 1901, the first lighthouse and a house for the lighthouse keeper were built. The lighthouse was a wood frame structure on wood pilings off shore, which would eventually be replaced by the current 34-foot concrete structure we see today. The light was automated in 1963 and actively aids nautical traffic.

 About the Artist: Paul M. Bradley Jr., an architect by profession, began drawing lighthouses after a New England vacation sparked his interest in the structures. His drawings appear quarterly in the Keeper's Log, a publication of the U.S. Lighthouse Society (www.uslhs.org).
