![SmugMug > all-time keyword > lighthouse > Crotch Island Light.
The station was established in 1857 with the building of the current small square brick tower and a keeper's house. It was built at the time that the granite quarries on Deer Isle and Crotch Island, immediately to the east, were becoming important for the construction of public buildings throughout the eastern United States. It was automated in 1958. The keeper's house burned down in 1959 and the rest of the buildings were removed shortly thereafter. In 1998 control of the site was passed to the Island Heritage Trust, a local group which preserves historic sites in the area. They have promised to keep the island as a bird sanctuary.[3]](/Landscapes/Lighthouses/CrotchIslandLighthouse-2/705473207_MJ2qc-Ti.jpg "SmugMug > all-time keyword > lighthouse > Crotch Island Light.
