Summary
| Description |
Mullins Point Rear Range Light. On September 25, 1873, the Department of Marine and Fisheries reported on the construction of a lighthouse on Mullins Point. A small lighthouse has been built at Mullin’s Point, on the north side of the entrance to Wallace Harbor, in Cumberland County. It is a fixed white light, elevated thirty-nine feet above high water. The still standing Mullins Point Lighthouse, a combination dwelling and light tower, was the structure that was built in 1894 to serve as the rear range light and residence for the keeper. The tower, centered atop the dwelling’s roof, rises to a height of forty-eight feet and provided a focal plane of eighty-two feet for the rear range light. In 1965, the range lights were unmanned after the wooden range lights were replaced by steel skeleton towers. Mr. and Mrs. John Sproul purchased the combination dwelling/tower and moved it roughly 1.5km along the shore from its original location. The Mullins Point Lighthouse continues to be used as a private residence.
