Pemaquid Point Maine Question

Could someone tell me what the little building with the bell is on this wonderful sculpture. I have a feeling its a water pump house and storage building but I would like confirmation. Thanks!

The structure you refer to houses the fog signalling equipment. Orginally a bell and then foghorn, probably steam powered.

This is known as the bell or foghorn house. Pemaquid Point is a must see lighthouse if you are visiting mid-coast Maine.

Good point, Squid. A great lighthouse at a beautiful part of the Maine Coast.

As a tribute to our resident curmudgeon Tim, I'm starting a list of Harbour Lights lighthouses that feature Fog Signalling Equipment. Here's a link to the thread:
