former Point Gammon Lighthouse, Massachusetts


Those who make a sea voyage around the Hyannis area of Cape Cod will notice this structure which looks like a lighthouse and that is what it initally was, built in 1816. However, it didn't last for very long. Over a century after it was abandoned, in the 1970s, Arnold Chace converted the old tower to a summer residence and spent several summers there, with the lantern room serving as his bedroom. Most of the surrounding land is owned by the Chace family. More info and pics here.
