A spot-on replica of the famous Montauk Point Light, located at the eastern-most point of Long Island, New York. Construction of the lighthouse was authorized by none other than President George Washington and bears the distinction of being the first public works project of the United States. The famous Pirate Captain Kidd is said to have buried treasure at the foot of the lighthouse and it's yet to be found.
Fully functional, this red and white lighthouse is a birdhouse with two nest boxes and 1-1/4 inch openings, one in the lighthouse itself and one in the keeper's cottage. The back removes for annual cleaning with convenient drainage, ventilation and unpainted interiors. The entire structure is built upon a river stone foundation for a charming touch, similar to the original. The perfect gift for bird and lighthouse enthusiasts. A custom fit mounting plate makes installation to your own standard wooden 4 x 4 or fence post a snap. Measures 19-1/2 x 8 x 15 inches.
