Handcrafted in China exclusively for Younger & Associates this limited edition comes in the original box with certificate of authenticity. Numbered 6571 out of 9500! Scituate Light is arguably the most iconic and beloved of the town’s landmarks. A day does not pass – summer or winter – without someone walking its perimeter and taking in the view. In the year 1810, the U.S. Congress voted $4,000 to build a lighthouse at Scituate Harbor. The Light, of split granite blocks with a one and a half story house attached, was activated in 1811. In 1916, the Town of Scituate purchased the Lighthouse from the federal government for $1,000 – thus saving it from public auction. In 1930, the town built a new lantern room atop the light. The town justified the expense – even though it was the first year of the Great Depression – by stating that “a community is judged by the condition of its public buildings; therefore, the Lighthouse should be well kept and in pleasing looking condition”. Town Meeting awarded custody and administration of the Lighthouse to the Scituate Historical Society in 1968. In 1994, Scituate Lighthouse was relit for the first time in 134 years – a welcoming beacon to our lovely harbor! Original box with documentation.
