Perkins Island Light This 23 foot octagonal wooden tower was built on the seven acre Perkins Island in 1898. The station is very similar to Doubling Point and Squirrel Point. The bell tower, boathouse and oil house were all added in the early 1900's. In 1959 the original fifth order Fresnel lens was removed and a 250mm optic was added. The fog bell was also removed at this time. Georgetown took over the property in 1973, but little has been done to improve the grounds. The keeper's house and all out buildings are in need of repair.
