About Mullins Point Range Rear Lighthouse

Also known as: Mullins Point Range Rear (relocated to North Wallace)

Built in 1894, this square pyramidal wood tower stands 14.5 meters tall. It is integrated into the roof of a two-story wood keeper's house and is white with a red lantern roof. The structure was originally situated at the north side of the entrance to Wallace Harbour. It ceased operations around 1965 and was sold in 1966. The new owners relocated the lighthouse to North Wallace. It is located near Pugwash.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is notable for its unique architectural design, a square pyramidal tower integrated with its keeper's dwelling, a style rarely found in the maritime provinces. Its relocation and preservation offer a link to 19th-century navigation practices.
