Every Monday we share an image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia.
Have you ever seen this old photo? Do you recognize the location? See anything of note? When do you think this photo was taken?
Here’s what the community already had to say:
Lee C. Parker: Hefty lifting to get that rock in place!
Mary S Houston: Great view! No trees!
Gary Berg: Split Rock? Around 1910??
Suzanne Pereau-Maye: Great pic!
That’s right! It’s a Split Rock Lighthouse closeup from last century. The back of the postcard (see below) is dated June 22, 1936, which dates the photograph used on the front to that year or prior.
We’ve shared several old postcards and photographs of the Split Rock Lighthouse previously. See them all here to see the lighthouse through the years from a variety of angles: Split Rock Lighthouse Archives.
