Artist's Description
In 1828, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an act which authorized the construction of a lighthouse at St. Marks. A contract was signed with Winslow Lewis of Boston for a tower in the St. Marks area for $11,765. In March 1830, the local customs inspector refused to accept the completed tower for the U.S. Government citing that the contract had called for solid walls not the hollow wall that Lewis had constructed. It was rebuilt and accepted in 1831. Erosion forced the tower to be rebuilt again with double walls in its present location in 1842. The first lighthouse keeper was Samuel Crosby (1830�1839), followed by Benjamin Metcalf (1839�1841) and then Capt. J. P Hungerford (1841�1844), whose family survived the terrible hurricane of 1843 by escaping to the attic but fifteen others in the dwelling drowned.
