Show Use For Old Lighthouses South Jerseymen have discovered a way of making practical use of an old lighthouse, so that if you have any old lighthouses in your possession here is a hint which may be of value in turning turn-ing the same to profitable account The circular building is the base of the second lighthouse erected on Cape May Point, and It Is now doing excellent ex-cellent service as a stable. Visitors to the present lighthouse, if they are of an explorative turn of mind, will see this strange structure, and if not informed as to its history will marvel that a stable should be built in such a shape, with walls four feet thick, of solid brick. The explanation is that when the second lighthouse was replaced re-placed by the present structure the older one was ordered to be torn down, but the base was left, and has been since used for a stable. The foundations founda-tions of the first lighthouse may occasionally oc-casionally be seen on the sand not far away, although these stones are usually us-ually covered with the water. |
