The Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth is absolutely mesmerizing ✨
It's remarkable that its creation was instructed by George Washington himself.⠀
It was completed in 1791 and its original design employed whale oil lamps for the light!
Another fun fact is that it was pretty cheap for today: it took only $1500 to build it. There are cameras today that are more expensive!⠀
