Description

This small building is located below the Golden Gate Bridge. Here's some info I found about it: "Lime Point is a rock spur, a hundred feet long and twenty feet wide, jutting into San Francisco Bay just east of the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. In 1833, more than a century before the bridge was built, a one-story fog signal and a two-story keepers' house were built on the spur. In 1900, the fog horn was supplemented with a lens lantern hung on the wall of the signal house nineteen feet above the water. At some point, a third story was added to the keepers' house and the crew was increased from two men to three. Lime Point was automated in 1961, and all of the structures except for the original fog signal building were razed."

Looks like some construction is going on. Fresh wood constructs. Makes me wonder if it's passed into private ownership. The dirt road certainly looks recently worn. Nice photo of a place few know about and even fewer would think of taking a photo of. Keep up the good work! :-)
