August 27, 2020 - A virtual tour of
Hospital Point Lighthouse located in Beverly, Massachusetts, was established in 1872 and includes the
light tower, and a keeper's dwelling and brick oil house.
The name of the light station stems from a smallpox hospital
built on the site in 1801.
Twentieth-century additions include
a wood frame garage (1942), concrete walks and a flagpole
added in 1948. Extensive modifications to the keeper's house
were completed in 1968. Due to the alterations to the site,
the light tower is the only contributing structure listed in
the National Register of Historic Places.
It is also the home of the First
Coast Guard District Commander.
