DescriptionCape Roseway Lighthouse (2).jpg |
The foghorn building at Cape Roseway is the oldest building that remains there. The fog alarm building was built in 1916-1917 to replace an earlier structure. The foghorn operated at Cape Roseway from 1884 until it was taken out of service in 1989. The current Cape Roseway lighthouse is an octagonal concrete building with a red lantern. The lighthouse is still being used with an automatic light apparatus installed, but the houses have been vacant since 1986 when the station became unmanned. The 1960 replacement tower still stands, along with the houses (all less than 40 years old), the two sheds (probably the oldest structures on site), two other badly deteriorated sheds, and a steel tower, once used for a radio transmitter. The fog horn was taken out of service in 1989. The radio beacon has been discontinued, far right building. The dwellings and service sheds have deteriorated badly in the harsh marine environment. Cape Roseway is one of the few stations in Nova Scotia which remains relatively intact.
