the light is gone

The lighthouse is gone - the light is gone.

A known, McClellan Park property of nearly one acre, once home to the Dickinson family, went up for sale this past year, and within the year, the family homestead was gone, demolished. The original house dated back to 1930, but later a lighthouse was added as a private and quiet bedroom suite back in 1977 for long-time homeowners, Tom & Scarlet Dickinson. 

The design of this unique addition was that of Tim Seibert, the acclaimed local architect, and a close family friend. As an aside, both Tim Seibert, and Tom & Scarlet, had a love for all things nautical.

 

Before the listing and sale, I had photographed the entire property for the remaining family, inside and out.

 

I returned early today, and the light was nearly gone.
