1. US Coast Guard Historic District Marker
Established in 1973, the US Coast Guard Historic District is an example of federal maritime architecture that reflects 113 years of the national commitment to safeguarding America’s coastline. The district was originally built by the US Life Saving Service, which merged with the Revenue Cutter Service in 1915 to form the US Coast Guard. The six remaining historic structures were transferred to the National Park Service for preservation. They include: the boathouse, quarters, plotting station, garage, signal tower and lighthouse.
Erected by National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior.
