Cold Spring Harbor

After 2 months of investigating, I was able to locate the private owner & visit the lighthouse for what I think are the first new pictures in 5 years. Report and photos soon on the website. Harbour Lights has sent me an AP to present to the current owners which will allow me an excuse to go back soon. The owner was quite intrigued that Harbour Lights had made his lighthouse when I showed him copies of the website pictures.
The lighthouse is quite cool and much taller than you would think. It's positioned on the marsh and you can see it's original location(light tower on the original cassion) from the lantern roon deck with a telephoto lens.

On Thursday, June 21, I had the pleasure of presenting the owner's Woody and Glo Glenn with an Artist Proof courtesy of the great people at Harbour Lights. They went over it with a fine toothcomb and were thrilled with the detail. They were even thinking of adding the arbor. The only significant difference on the piece from the original is the stone/block facade on the cassion. The original and current cassion is steel. I believe there will be many new members added to the Collector's Society who are relatives and friends of the Glenns who will want the sculpture.

Very cool, Bob. You'll note that windows were added to the lighthouse on two floors - I presumed those were added when the lighthouse was moved to land.

Did you discuss that with them?

Yes John, we went over the original and the additions. Mary Glenn used the upper floor for her art studio, so her husband added those windows for better light. When the lighthouse was moved one whole side of the lighthouse fell off and had to be replaced.
